Not sure what to say?

Ted, eternally grateful for you watching out for my elderly parents! Getting up at 5:00am every morning, and putting their newspaper at their front door was a blessing to them, and our family! Thank you Thomas Martin!

Ed, I will always be grateful to you, for your kindness to my elderly parents who lived next door! Thank you, and God be with you, Laura, and your entire family always! See you upstairs! Cheers!

Three years have gone by, since Ted's passing, but heaven and spiritual life are eternal. Ted, may your light and Laura's light burn as brightly in heaven as it did on Earth!! God bless you and your family always!!

Thoughts and Prayers Arrangement

Ted lived next door to my parents on Coventry when they were elderly!!!My Mother was on a walker, and crippled, and my Father was blind. Every morning around 5:00am Ted would leave his house and go put my parents newspaper on their front doorstep,
so my Father would not blindly have to try and retrieve it in the front yard!! If there was ever an angel to two old people, it was Ted Covington!!!God Bless you Ted, and your family, and children, and thank you for helping my elderly parents!!!

A sad goodbye to one of the finest man I've had the pleasure of knowing. He always kept me chuckling and was a man of outsanding class. I will miss him the same as I know so many of the rest of you will. Rest in peace, Ted

Sorry to hear a great American and a great Gator is gone.

Cliff enjoyed talking to you about the military, sports, and just about everything. You will long be remembered.

Becky - your Dad was such a special man and I'm so glad that our Dads were such good friends and tennis buddies who loved the Gators. It's sad to learn of his passing and the Covington family is in thoughts and prayers. Whenever you miss him - put your hand over your heart as he will always be in there.
