Ted Carino

As the days,weeks and all the 1st without Ted pass , and as you return to life's routine , may you continue to feel comforted by the love, prayers and support of family and friends.
The last family visit of Ted to Saskatoon with Zahra,Aleem and Sabina and sister Maritess last September 2009 was so beautiful and sure will always be treasured. Ted you left a big void in our life , you are gone but will always be in our hearts.

To our dearest Ted

We have memories in our pockets.
They rattle among the change.

Our memories of you are treasures we carry wherever we go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give us comfort when we think we are alone.

Yes, we have memories in our pockets, like so much other stuff we keep there.

But of all the treasures we have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Loving you forever

Dad, Mom & Marites

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

The suddenness of Ted's death makes acceptance very painful. However, we know that God has His own reason for taking Ted back to him at such a young age. . . .
Last night I was able to show Cesing Teds picture and the obituaries, which definitely picture Ted as a person respected and responsible and well loved by his clients and community. He will always be remembered that way - God be praise for his legacy of goodness. . . . Sayang he never had the chance of bringing his family to visit his roots in the Philippines.

Surely, it will take time to heal the pain of parting, but rest assured he is the loving care of Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother. We had a novena of Masses in memory of Ted at the Fatima Chapel of the Carmelite Sisters of Our Lady.
Take care both of you and Maritess. God bless and let's continue to connect with each other through prayers.

Love,

Cesing, Laling, Dela and Soling

In listening to the young man who paid tribute to your son, Ted, during the funeral service for him and in seeing the numbers of people who were at the church and later at his internment, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that your son was respected, loved and admired so so many many people. I regret I never knew him in person.

I did not have the opportunity to tell you this because I've been on the road again. The night before I left Victoria I had dinner with my sister-in-law and a friend of hers. This friend is an 80-something gentle-hearted person by the name of Kathy. We told Kathy about Ted. She said that on the Thursday of his funeral, she had gone to her local pharmacy but was told they had to close shop temporarily because the staff had to attend a funeral. The staff had tears in their eyes when they were telling Kathy they were going to terribly miss their "boss". Only when we were at the dinner table did Kathy make the connection.

I know there is nothing we can say or do that will take away the pain of your loss. We can only pray that God grants you peace soon and the happy memories of Ted take over and help you get through each day. Please let Marites, Zahra and her family know that our thoughts are with also them. I know that in time, when they are old enough, Ted's and Zahra's son and daughter will find out too what a wonderful father they had.


Please take care and know that your cousins, nephews and nieces, and your family are here for you.

Diana and Bernard

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences go out to the Carino family and Ted's extended family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

There are no words one can say at a time like this. It has been a privilege to know Ted. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

May you find an inner strength to cope with the sorrow you feel, encouraged by the knowledge that friends and family care about your loss and are standing with you. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.
Love,
Don, Betsy Harioka & Family

Ted always went above and beyond his duties as my pharmacist. He was always available to dispense advice, no matter how busy he was. He was instrumental in guiding me through a difficult and painful pregnancy. The successful and healthy birth of my son in June was in part because of Ted; his time, patience and incredible professionalism were a large part of this success. He was always warm, kind and had an incredible gentle smile. Our sympathies to his wife and children, mother and father and the rest of his extended family.

hi i have known Ted for a long time he was the first person I met when I heard about the crash I was heart broken I went to see his family. I wish I could have more time with him.

Glayne and I were deeply grieved to hear of Ted's untimely passing. We watched Ted and our son Bob grow up playing tennis tournaments together and billeting between our home in Regina and and the Carino residence in Saskatoon. Ted was a good sport who competed hard and at the same time had fun.
Our hearts go out to Art, Herminia and Ted's wife and young family. We will always cherish fond memories of the times we shared with Ted. He had a wonderful sense of humour and a smile for everyone.

My friend Ted...its so hard to find the right words. You will be missed amoung all of us who were close to him and had an opportunity to grow up with him. My sister and I played tennis with him for many years. We all built great friendships with him as our years past playing the sport. My heart goes out to your family, you will always be in my thoughts, I will miss you my friend.

My deepest sympathies to your family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
I have very fond memories from our time spent together in the high school years.
You are very missed.

I'm an old friend of Marites. I never met Ted, but I'm so sorry to hear that he has died, and my heart goes out to his family, and especially Marites. Marites, if you are reading this, I've been thinking of you and will be in the days to come. The next time you're in Saskatoon (or I in Montreal) it would be good to see you.

I was fortunate enough to meet Ted several years ago at a Peoples Drug Mart function. He always expressed interest in how my pharmacy studies were coming along. In the summer of 2007 I completed a practicuum at Ted's Shawnigan Lake Pharmacy, he took time out of his day several times to guide me in my pharmacy practice. Ted, you were an outstanding profressional and more importantly, an outstanding person. You will be sorely missed.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family, I had the privelage of going to high school with Ted and he was always happy and smiling, always the nicest of people. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to Ted's family, friends, and colleagues. I can only imagine the terrible pain and grief you are experiencing. As a customer of Ted's I was fortunate to experience his wit and intelligence firsthand. He knew ALL of his customers by first name, which speaks volumes of his caring nature and the passion for his chosen profession.
What a terrible loss for the community, and what a tragic loss for his family,
with deepest sympathy,
Anne

My heartfelt sympathies to the Carino and Hirji families, friends and work colleagues. I did not have the privilege to know Ted, however I work with Ishan and whenever she returned from a family vacation she would describe the wonderful time she had with Ted, sister, nephew and niece. My work colleagues and I are so saddened to learn about your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Even though we did not have the pleasure of meeting Ted personally, the many tributes give one a sense of a wonderful and caring person who will be dearly missed by family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ted during his university years. One summer, Ted had an internship in Regina. He stayed at our apartment and slept in our tiny laundry room. We still laugh about it.

My condolences to your family.

We want to express to you Min,Art,Marites,Zahra and the children our deepest sympathy in the tragic death of your son/brother/husband and father. He was loved by all who knew him, and we know what a tragic sense of loss you are suffering.
You are in our prayers and thoughts and those of so many others who share your sorrow.

Zahra and family,

Even though Tim and I never had the pleasure of meeting Ted as we read all that is written about him we can see how dearly he is loved and what a wonderful man he is. We are so sorry to hear of his loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

We send our heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Zahra, Aleem and Sabina at this sad time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We also would like to extend this message to Art and Herme and Marites Carino, and Nizarali and Rozina and Ishan Hirji. Dr Brian and Rosemary Colquhoun and family.

Ted was one of the best friends and doubles partners I've ever had and I know that many other people can say this too. He was a kind, compassionate man who also had a very mischievous side. As junior tennis players in Saskatchewan we took pride in tormenting our tennis coach Debbie as well as corrupting several younger players (all in good fun though). As time has gone on we grew up, got busy with life and had less contact with each other, but Ted's infectious personality and friendship molded me into the person I am today. I will miss Ted tremendously and my thoughts are with his Mum, Dad, Sister, Wife and kids.

I was shocked to hear of Ted's accident. So young and so promising. I had to go searching for this photo. This is the way I will always remember him: a sweet, lovely boy. He must have 4 years old in this photo.

My heart goes out to his children and family. May memories of him sustain them in this difficult and sad times. My deepest condolences. Prayers are said for him. May he rest in peace.

I Have known Ted for about 5 years when i first met ted i needed a persciption and had no money ted has helped me out for years. picked me up hitchhiking. and was an overall great guy i feel privileged to have known Ted. and am going to always remember him. It is Great loss in mill bay

My sincere condolences to the Carino family, and a huge extended work family and friends. Ted will be missed in the community, but your legacy will live on at the Peoples Mill Bay Pharmacy.
I will not forget your big smile,your kindness and integrity for your profession. You were taken from life too soon,but your footprint is here forever. RIP

Ted saw me at Shell station in Mill Bay after work and said Hi. I told him I was trying to get to his store before he closed but didn't make it. He went and opened his store and gave me my med's and said to pay on Monday as they were closed on Sunday. I couldn't believe someone in this day and age would do that. He definately will be missed.

Ted, I do not know you personally, but I know your parents, Min and Art. They were so proud of you, they spoke so highly of you and your sister. It is just sad you had to leave earlier to meet our Maker. Don't worry, your family will be well looked after.

Our deepest sympathies to Marites and the whole Carino family from friends and neighbors on Villeneuve and Esplanade, Montreal.

Kat O'Brien and Sylvie Gauthier

Our thoughts and prayers, here at Selkirk Place are with you at this difficult time. Ted will always be remembered for his kindness and warm smile that would light up the room. Our deepest condolences.

Hermie and Art
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
Maureen Sinclair

It is with great sadness that I send my condolences to Zahra and children, Art, Hermina and family on the loss of your lovely husband, son and brother.

As I have gone through a similar experience I know first hand the pain you are going through right now. This poem was given to me and my family and I hope you will find comfort in its words.

An Irish Funeral Prayer

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

I have made a contribution to the Aga Khan Foundation Canada in Ted's honour.

Pauline McGuirk, Douglas McIlveen and family.

Ted, You always had such a bright friendly smile. I loved going into your store. Always so professional and helpful. My heart felt condolences to your family and friends.

May he rest in Peace...
Condolences from the Pabello Family

Cousin Rhea (Carino) Zaleski and Family

Ted was a wonderful person who will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. He guided me through some rough times, like a true friend, not just a pharmacist. He was a great example of how to live in loving community. Thank you, Ted. Deepest condolences to your family.

I first met Ted about five years ago. Kohl and Frisch, the company I work for, is a supplier to the Mill Bay store. Ted was one of the best people I've ever met in the Pharmacy industry. This tragedy has saddened many other people in our organization and on behalf of them all we want to express our sincerest condolences to Ted's family and many friends.

We were so sorry to hear of Ted's death. We were honoured to have his generous gifts of energy, good humour, and sensible ideas on our board of directors. He was a lovely man, whose first priority was always his family He took such pleasure in talking about his little ones.
Our thoughts are with you all in this difficult journey.

He was a very caring person full of promise, and it is a shame we will not see the fulfillment of that.
Our thoughts go out to the family in the hope that time will heal.
Good luck to you all

Ted, you will be missed in the Mill Bay community. Your kindness, willingness to help, professionalism and bright smile will not be forgotten by all your loyal customers. You were a special person, and you were taken from life too soon. My heart goes out to your family, parents and friends. RIP.

We were saddened and shocked to hear of your sudden passing. You were taken from this world far too soon. Our hearts and sympathies go out to Zahra, your two precious children and your entire family and your friends. You will be remembered by us as that young guy who used to live next door that did so much for himself and others with his much too short life. RIP Ted.

Ted, your warming smile and fantastic sense of humour will never be forgotten. I feel so lucky to have known such a wonderful,caring,loving man. My thoughts are with Zahra and your children at this time of grief. You will never be forgotten as you touched so many hearts in so many ways, life is way to cruel and i am sure my heart and the hearts of others will ache for a very long time.

Zahra, I am truly devastated to hear of Ted's passing. This is a loss for anyone who knew him. He was a wonderful man who cherished his family first and foremost. My time working with Ted was always full of fun and laughter. He was a real jokester! Ted treated everyone as a value and an equal and will be remembered by me with that beautiful smile on his face. It was a privledge to know him and an honor to work with him. May the love of family and friends carry you through this very difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

You were more than a boss, your were our friend, and you made us part of a family, we love you and will miss you forever. Be at peace and watch over your babies and see them grow into loving caring people such as you and Zahra and know that your memory will live on in their gorgeous faces. You were taken far too soon from us. RIP Ted (Theodore) we will miss you.

Ted, you will be missed. I will always remember all the words of wisdom and the bits of advice you gave me when I first started managing.
Your integrity, willingness to help others, and love for your family are a few of your many characteristics others strive to live by. Ted, you were taken far too soon, my heart goes out to you and your wonderful family.

YOu were more than just a pharmicist to us, you were one in a million. We admired your personality, intelligence, and integrity. We were so happy to see someone as young as you do so much with your life, it may have been short in years but not in quality. R.I.P. Ted, you won't be forgotten.
