Ted is my first cousin; his father is my father's younger brother (Uncle Byron.)I last met Ted in 2001 while visiting Tacoma. I never knew Olga, Ted's wife but understand she was his life's love. Ted and I were born 6 days apart in 1928. Ted is my senior by a week. May God guide you, Ted, through enternity.

Our hearts break when we lose someone that we truly love and no one can take away the pain. Keep his memories alive. Your dad is now your guardian angel watching over you with your mom at his side. May God watch over you and bless you during this difficult time.
