Ted MOORES

MOORES, Ted (Arthur)
October 1, 1941 - January 24, 2012
Ted passed away peacefully at St. Vincent Hospital after many years of failing health. He faced his many challenges with strength, dignity, grace and humour.
Retired from Canada Post, Ted took up competitive swimming in his mid 50's and trained with determination. Above all else, his family and their well-being was most important to Ted. He leaves behind his loving wife of 39 years, Susan Pratt, their sons, of whom he was so proud, Joseph and his wife Renee (Berlasso) and their son (and daughter-to-be, expected this May); Benjamin and his wife Karen (Reaney) and their daughter, Mia.
Ted, ever-determined to celebrate the birth of grandchildren enjoyed precious years of being a proud and loving grandfather.
Survived by sisters Arlene Fielding (Gerry) and Carol Maleyko (Ken) (Windsor, ON), brother Patrick (Lynda) (Masset, BC), and Robert. Predeceased by his parents Arthur and Isabelle Moores. Also left to mourn Ted's passing are Susan's family: Helen Pratt and the late Gordon Pratt (1994) (Windsor, ON), Tom and Edie Pratt (Ottawa, ON), Gerry Pratt, Mary Anne Pratt (Windsor, ON), Terry and Rex Meade (Dundas, ON) and Robert and Roxanne Pratt (Kingsville, ON) as well as many nieces and nephews.
Heartfelt thanks to the wonderful doctors and nurses, the Dialysis Unit and to the many staff and volunteers at St. Vincent Hospital who cared for Ted with never-ending compassion and kindness. The family will be forever grateful.
