Dear Rose, Phil, Joy and other members of Ted’s family,

We wish to express our sorrow for your loss. I too wish to convey my fond recollections of Ted as a fellow pharmacist. Ted was ALWAYS the consummate professional, consistently placing his patient’s interest first. He was also a wonderful neighbor and I have been blessed to live next door to him for the past 30 plus years. May God be with your family during this time of sorrow.

Your love for our Lord, for your precious wife, and for others was so obvious and your faithful service and love for Christ's church constantly encouraged Ron and me. That endearing smile and warm hug will be greatly missed on Sunday mornings.
