We send our sympathy to Adrienne and Alan on the loss of her father. It is so hard to lose someone you love. Susan and John Bates

A wonderful family and time as a child at Zells Bros. In the corner sat a golden angel i admired. May you rest in peace and continue to watch over your children and grandchildren being their guardian from above.

He was a wealth of knowledge especially watches and clocks and always on the ready to share this knowledge with fellow salespeople and customers. We all loved Ted.

With our sympathy to the family. There is never an easy time to say goodbye.

I enjoyed visiting with Ted at Zell Bros. He always had time to talk watches. Very kind. Very knowledgeable. I have wonderful memories of those days. Ted will be missed.

Ted and I were friends for many years. We happily shared similar interests and I will always remember him as a kind and generous man who loved his family. He will be missed by many.
