I am truly sorry to here that Ted lost his battle. Although he and I were never close, his passing will definitely leave a small void within me. He was a man who would help tirelessly, and still ask if there was more that he could do. People like that are few and far between, and I was lucky enough to have known him.
You and I have known each other for a long time and many memories bridge that gap, and a lot of water has flowed under that bridge. We have both come through good and bad times and so I know that you will survive this as you have survived so many other things, granted none probably, as hard as this. But there is no doubt that with your determination and grit you will survive and part of Ted will therefore survive through you.
I am so very pleased that Chelsie's life has turned out as well as it has. She always had a place in my heart. I felt a little proud when I heard that she was married and that she had had a baby boy. I am glad that Ted was able to hold his grandson. It reminded me of the times my Dad held Travis before he died, and I will always believe that in doing so, the short time he had left with us, had new meaning and brilliance. I'll have to ask him later.

Ted was more than a best friend and partner. He was a mentor, listener, advocate, trainer, adviser, chef, builder, creator, and entrepreneur. Ted was everything to me. My strength, my love, my glory. There was a reason we renewed our vows and married the same person twice. I will miss you so much, but I know that your arms will always surround me and all your children. There are no words to describe my love or feelings. You will remain forever in my heart soul. You are the best of everything in life. Our 25th wedding anniversary getaway that you planned was really special. Although married 25 years we knew each other since 1982. We shared life and marriage, for better or worse, in sickness and health. I am so glad I got to care for you in the last of your days...and that you asked the DRs. to send you home to be with me because you were selfish and wanted to be with your wife. We had a very special love that I will never forget and wish could have lasted so much longer. Des Colores Ted.

While we only knew you and Robbin for a short time and not well, both Andy and I were hoping to get to know both of you better. You were a lovely couple. We liked you immediately Ted and will miss getting to know you better. We will keep in touch with Robbin and hopefully, somehow, be able to help her get through this terrible time.

Ted, you will be in my memories forever. We grew up as good friends in our teenage years in north Edmonton and found different paths to follow in our adult lives. When our paths crossed we would reminisce of the fun times we had growing up and talk about how your mom, brothers and sisters were doing. You will be missed dear friend. My condolences to your wife and family.

Robbin, Chelsie, Breann and Jeremy,
I was honoured to have known Ted, and been so graciously welcomed into your home, and family. Ted is now in no pain any longer and he's going to guide all of you, and his grandsons through this world until you all meet again. I'm going to miss Ted very much, he was like a father figure to me, despite the last few years I had not seen him. All my best to you all during this difficult time. Lots of love and condolences,
Krystal McDonald-Smith and family
