Not sure what to say?

Dearest Teddy...I miss you always and hope you and my Jack are tending the roses in heaven together.

Love always,

Ted, I will miss you're kindness, generosity, and knowledge. You are irreplaceable.

Ted was such a nice man. He patiently answered our questions, whether we were a customer at his nursery or whether it was at one of the East County Rose Society meetings. He is already missed.

A beautiful image, for a lovely man.

Special thanks to the family for such a lovely memorial service. Forever and ever, I will remember Ted dancing at that party at the nursery! Ted always came through for me (and our clients) so many times when I managed the Cool Communities Shade Tree program. It was a daunting challenge. I recall him personally handling the delivery of a mulberry tree to a training site (around 7:00am), when another nursery didn't show up as promised. His knowledge, helpful attitude, and genuine humanity...

Our Thoughts and Prayers go with you in your time of Loss. Ted was a great asset to our industry and a genuinely kind man. The Peacock Family

He was our terrific guest speaker at the Blossom Vly Garden Club a few months ago. Spoke to him 2 wks ago and he asked when he could come back! A walking Encyclopedia who truly gave of himself. We asked him some tough ones, and he would nail it! He will be sorely missed for a long long time. Lavon Jones

On behalf of Hydro-Scape, We send our condolences and prayers to the Kniffing family during this difficult time. The industry has surely lost a special craftsman of his trade. R.I.P Ted.
