Not sure what to say?

I met Ted Lindsay at Fraser Hockeyland. I was going up the stairs and he was going down . I looked up to see who was coming down and stopped in my tracks. I said" Oh, it's you!" Where he replied,"Oh, it's you!" We both chuckled and Iyelled out"Anyone got a pen?"Just by luck, I had on a Red wing shirt that day.i met him other times and he always had a smile on his face and a story to tell! Rest in Peace in that great hockey arena in the sky!

one of thé greatest humans.You would
Nevers know what à great player hé was.

I was fortunate to know Mr. Lindsay in my younger years quite well. His son Blake and I were friends and business partners in the early eighties, "Lindsay, Edwards Sport Outfitters". During those days Ted was an officer in our corporation and a constant support mechanism for us in every way possible. Most fans rightfully know Ted Lindsay as a Hall of Fame sports icon which they should. He was that same caliber person in his personal life as well I'd come to know. The old saying goes...
