Dottie, Terry and Tami, We were sorry to hear of Ted's death. Having known you all for so many years, we know how hard it has been to battle the Parkinson Disease and feel now that Ted is finally at peace. We've enjoyed the fun times we've had together at Lake Erie, the maintenance help Ted was able to give Dick, the picnics at Alum Creek and finally your lovely spot at Thurber Retirement Community. We plan to stay in touch and to bring our grandchildren to that special "pool in the clouds" next summer. Lots of love, Dick and Sharon

Please accept my condolences in your time of sorrow. I have many fond memories of Art. He hired me at the Division of Water, and was my mentor during the years we worked together there. I have nearly 30 years at ODNR myself now, but I still think of Art frequently and am still applying the things he taught me on a daily basis. I wanted to let you know how important he was in my life. --Lenn Black
