To the Correll,
my sincere condolences on the passing of Ted. we worked for 25+ years at GSA. He was always a go to guy and a great worker and a future boss of mine and the remaining green shirts before moving to the 2nd floor till he retired. He visited Bannister till he got sick and has been in the prayers till now. The family is now in the prayers and Teddy Bear is in a better place but way to early.

My condolences goes to the Correll family. I met Ted only once, but was taken by his charm and wit. He was a very kind and gentle man and a great husband! I will be praying for his family during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathies,

Gloria Dyer and family
