Words can't express our sorrow for
you and your family.
You and Ted have been part of my life for more years than I can remember.
The memories of high school years
brings smiles to my face.
One time a group of the guys
decided to have a corn roast, stole the corn, roasted it, only to find
they had POP CORN !!!!
Always friends, these past years have been even better.... the W.A.
reunions and "our" lunches.
His terrific personality and outlook
on life plus your wonderful tender,
loving care extended his years in
this world.
Much love, Maxine & Phil
