Not sure what to say?

After knowing Ted for almost 50 years, it is very difficult to imagine not seeing him. I'm certain it's very difficult for the family. Our sincere condolences,

Jim & Janice Osterman



The great memories of the entire Smith family has remained in my heart for many years. I remember when they moved to the neighborhood on Maple Circle, Lake Oswego and the wonderful atmosphere that was always present in their home....Love, Peace and Joy.
My love and prayers are with the entire family!

Ted, I rember you as the best boss and teacher I ever had. I remember you as the fine, decent human being who expected and inspired me to do my best during my years with Omark International in the 1960s. You set an example that I have ever since tried to live up to. May God bless you and your family.

Ted is the nicest man that I have ever met. He had the nicest inviting smile and a heart of gold. He was never afraid to recognize ones potential and nurture it. Mr. smith didn't just follow the rules, he wrote the play book. The most gentle, wisest man in my mind he still is.
We'll always remember Ted.

I have many great memories of working for you back in the 60s, you were a good teacher to a very green young man. Thanks Ted.

I respected and enjoyed working for Ted at Omark Industries. He was a good leader.
My best wishes to the family and especially to Joan. Gerry Knechtel

It was a privilege to have worked for Ted. He knew how to stimulate and bring out the best in people, and was a great
counselor.

You will be missed good friend... you always had such a nice smile and attitude towards life and brought the goodness out in those people you touched. Peace be with you.
