Dear Friends and acquaintances
It has been just over a year since Ted died and I have just been made aware of this site.
Thanks to all of you who submitted you comments. They have warmed my heart. Hearing from many old (40 years)friends about Ted has reminded me of a lifetime of memories.
Thank you all
Marlene

Dearest Marlene, Fraser, Allison, Stuart and Craig: So many memories. One of my first "bosses" at age 19. Our two families growing up together. Our many fondues.

My condolences to the entire Moffatt family. May you find strength together during this difficult time.
Ted was my manager at the Ottawa Police civilian branch in the mid 70's, and I remember him as always being fair, honest and had a great sense of humour. Although I haven't seen Ted in over 30 years, I remember him fondly as one of my first "bosses".
RIP Ted - it was a pleasure knowing you.
