Merry Christmas up there in Heaven, big guy! I trust you are gearing up to handle all the recycling this season creates, possibly even in the heavenly skies. No doubt in my mind you continue to be busy...rather than resting in peace. Do what you need to do, good friend, you have made it to home plate!

Farewell to a good man who gave Letterkenny his all. His personality and determination brought the Recycling to new heights as he continually researched new methods and viable alternatives. I surely enjoyed working with Ted over most of his 27 years. Peace be with you dear friend, I´m just sorry you didn´t get to enjoy the retirement you worked so hard to earn.
