Ted Douglas Alder

I have known Ted for 20+ years. He's been a patient at our dental office and I just love him. He was always so positive and gave big hugs and loved to show us his muscles, ha ha! When Ted came in the office we would ask what music he wanted to listen to and he would say, John Denver, country road! So we would put it on and he would sing big and loud and Andra and I would join in. We will miss this gentle giant of a man. Sue, you have been an amazing support and strength to your brother and...

Our sincere condolences to the Alder family. We were a part for many years and we loved Ted like he was our own. He will truly be missed. Donald and Linda Jensen

Dear Alder Family, I was heartbroken to hear of Ted's passing. Please accept my deepest condolences. He was not only a wonderful client but also a dear friend whose kindness, warmth, and presence left a lasting impression on everyone around him. It was truly an honor to have known Ted and to share in his journey. I will always remember Ted's genuine spirit and the light he brought to those fortunate enough to know him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this...

I met Ted over 45 years ago, when Alders bought the ranch. What a great guy! Always a HUGE hug. He liked to pick you right up off the ground, so proud was he of his strength! Always happy. He was so blessed to have such an amazing, loving family who included him in all things. He was always so proud of his lawn mowing skills, of his Utes and his singing abilities. He used to get so excited about the first weekend of the deer hunt. It was a big deal. He was such a people person. I'm fortunate...

Oh, reading this brings back so many wonderful memories of Ted and the fun that we all had growing up on Emerson Avenue. I remember his beautiful sky-blue eyes and skiing down your backyard hill. It was my first skiing and it seemed so steep! Sue, I´ve always admired the love and care that you freely gave. It was so natural and a gift from your heart. Tyler, Carter and Leah, I remember Ted telling me how you were all doing. He thought you were great. May you all be blessed. I think...

I'm sorry to hear of Ted's passing. Even though I only worked with him for a couple of years, he was always fun to be around. There was never a dull moment! My condolences to the family. Rest in peace, Ted.

I was lucky enough to get to know Big Ted by working with him. His smile and a big hand shake let you he was your true friend. RSP

We have known Ted since the 1990's and send our love to the Alder family. We will always remember Ted for his enthusiastic greetings, hugs, "muscle exhibitions" and of course his singing. The very memory of him singing White Christmas at our son's wedding brings lump to my throat! God bless all who loved and cared for this special, special man!
