Not sure what to say?

One of the greatest people I've ever known. He was a wonderful and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed.

Dearest Cousins,

All of our memories are brimming with laughter and love. Uncle Ted and Auntie Grace were quite a couple. I admired the obvious love shared between them.

As yours, my childhood home was also a cheerful, loving environment. In some way, I think that makes the passing of a parent easier...only in that our love was shared daily...nothing left unsaid...appreciation and gratefulness always expressed, to each other and during prayer. We are a blessed...

Ted and Family
There are no words that make a death easy, especially a father. Know that you are in my prayers and thoughts.....

Im sorry to hear bout the lost i use to clean his wife room when she was at edgewood. He was so wonderful to her. He will be missed

Marge,
It is our fervent hope that, in your hour of sorrow, that you, your sister and your brothers find comfort in knowing that our prayers to the Lord, our God, are for your Dad's grand and joyous welcome into heaven, straight into the arms of the Lord, accompanied by his beloved Grace, in the eternal youth and the perfect, indescribable joy of God's blessed kingdom. What a consolation!

So deeply loved, so deeply missed. A good trade off in the end. I remember dune buggy rides and Juggerum, puppet toddlers, M&Ms, trips to Disney, racing down the hill into waiting arms. An ever available ear, and unending love. Grace was lucky, as were we all. What a legacy and a life. We should all do so well. Love to each and every one of you.

"Every man dies. Not every man truly lives". (Braveheart) This man shared 70 years with the woman he cherished. He is the role model for every man who is honored to be called "Dad".

My deepest sympathies to you and your family Ted.
