To the Botsford Family,
I send you all my sincerest condolences and prayers.
I do believe I spoke with Ted, at great length over the phone, when I was in the Ottawa area, and Athens, a couple of years ago, doing research on our Botsford family genealogy.
Ted was an amazing source of information and was so very welcoming and friendly.
It was a great pleasure to talk to such a nice man.
I recall our conversation with a special warmth.

Dear Lillian - I remember Ted as a charming and very amusing gentle man. He helped me over many a technical rough spot when I started to work at the CBC in 1963. You and your family will have so many wonderful memories to share and sustain you. I send my deepest sympathy. Sincerely Shirley Gobeil

My sincerest condolences to Mrs. Botsford, as well as Bob, Dan, Louise and Gerry...and all the family
So many years have past since I grew up around the corner from the Botsfords.
But I look back so very fondly on those years, what great fun we had! And Mr. Botsford
was a big contributing factor to that fun. Even when I reconnected and visited not long ago, his
great sense of humor was just as it had always been. May warm memories flow back to you all
soon, to replace the present sadness.

I worked with Ted at CBO during the 60s and early 70's.
We were a small tight technical gang. He will be missed.
