Ted A. Wood

Joan,
Just heard Saturday about Ted what a shock. Sorry to hear about such a great shock it must have been. My prayers are with you.

Joan and family,
There are no words to describe what a grand
guy Ted was. Gods peace to you all.

Joan and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Ted, and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Living on opposite ends of the neighborhood we only saw Ted occasionally, but he always had a smile. His warm and friendly demeanor was evidence of the kind hearted person he truly must have been. We pray that God will bring peace and strength to you and your family. Please do not hesitate to call for any reason.

Dear Gene,
Gary, Tim, Janet, Dick, Ken & Gene

As Agnes would say "He was a good one".

Thoughts & Prayers,

It was with deep sadness when I learned of Ted's passing. He was truly one of the nicest people I ever met. Always smiling, always laughing but most importantly, he always truly seemed to care about whomever he was talking to. Joan, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Joan
I can't tell you how sorry we are that you've lost Ted. It's devastating to lose the one you've loved for so long. God(and your friends)will look after you and yours in getting through this.

Joan - Our deepest sympathy to you, your daughters, extended family and closest friends. We've been quiet neighborhs through the past several years but, a friendly wave and smile every week or so is something we've shared with you and Ted. May God and the people closest to you provide the spiritual sustenance needed during this time of grieving. And, may the memories that your family recalls, remind you of comforting times together and how precious Ted presence was in your lives. Peace and support to you and your family.

My dear friend Joan,
Needless to say, Steve and I are devastated over the loss of Ted.. in absolute shock.. We ask how can this have happened to rob the world of a kind man who so easily made friends with a smile as huge as his heart?
There are never the right words to express sorrow, but knowing that Ted was loved by so many, let that be one of your many memories to help carry you through this difficult time. As Steve says, it was an honor knowing Ted and being part of his life, even for a short while. He will be forever in our hearts.

I just found out about cousin Ted and was very sad and surprized. Ron and I will be praying for Joan and our hearts go out to her and all the family.

Joan...I only met Ted once last summer at the Dakota County Fair and talked with him and you, Joan. Phil and I are from the RHS class of '70 as you are as you know... and Phil was in the middle of serious cancer treatment last summer when we ran into you. We had a nice little visit there in the middle of the fair. ... both of us married to high school sweethearts. I thought Ted was very nice. I can not imagine the depth of your sorrow Joan and how you will miss him and how sudden this all is. I am praying for you all. We learned last summer battling cancer, that you will need your grown kids to help you through this time and you will see how wonderful they can be when you need them. We plan to come to the visitation. I hope it helps to know so many people care. —Rollie Brandt (Rolaine Kirchner) and Phil Brandt

I was so sorry to hear the loss of Ted. When Scott had told me what had happend, I was in shock. It just proves to us that we have to live life to the fullest. My thoughts, and prayers are with your family in this time of need.

Joan, Emily, and Elly.

When I heard of what happened, I was in pure shock. This just goes to show that we all have to cherish everyday of our lives, just as Ted did. When ever we talked on the phone or in person, we always ended with a smile and a laugh. I always looked up to Uncle Ted. One thing that I am going to truly miss is giving uncle Ted the atomic elbow.

Joan, Emily, and Elly, I am very sorry for your loss. I was very lucky to have Ted as an uncle, but you are even more lucky to have had him as a husband, and father.

Uncle Ted, you will for sure be missed. You will always have a very special place in my heart. When ever I need a good laugh or smile, all I have to do is think of a time we were spending together. Thank you for all the joy you brought to my life. I love you uncle Ted.

Joan, Elly, Emily, Rick, Dan, Silas. I am so sorry that this happened to you. It was unexpected that Ted would go like this. Ted and I would talk to each other every day. If we missed a day we would catch up the next day. Ted and I had a certain spot in our hearts for each other and now I have a huge hole in mine. I could make him laugh anytime as he could to me. We both had a special humor together. If I needed Ted for anything or anytime, he was there for me as I would be for him. I always felt proud to be his brother. I loved him very much and I will miss him for the rest of my life.

i love you ted, more than i can say, to see full note, go to whitefuneralhomes.com till we meet again, my sweet brother.

ted , i love you more than i can say,i will miss you forever. till we meet again. to see full letter, go to whitesfuneralhomes.com. to joan, elly, dan, emilly , rick, and sylas. i love you guys so much. i will be here for you.

Our hearts have been so heavy with the news of Ted's passing. We will never forget the laughs, the smiles, the warmth that Ted radiated. He always made us feel important - he was so
genuine. His passing feels surreal. Words can't begin to capture how sorry we are for the loss of your husband, Joan, and Dad, Elly and Emily. We are so glad to have had him as part of our lives and he will never be forgotten. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Joan,dear cousin,and to your beautiful daughters, I am so sorry that Ted was taken
from you all this early in his life.
I can't imagine losing this great guy.
I still miss your Mom and Dad.
May the Lord help you and your family through this great,great pain.

Our family passes our sincere wishes and payers to Joan and the entire Wood family. We shall cherish the time we shared together. We will never forget the warm smile, friendly greeting and infectious laughter that Ted always bestowed on everyone he met. Ted went out of his way to help anyone, anytime, anywhere. We shall be there for Joan and family as they try to cope with this heavy void in their lives.

One of the many things I learned from my older brother was the value of your Wife and Children. Spending quality time with them, experiencing life together, and showing them endless love and support. This is the way I'm raising my family and we are very close and loving. Teds legacy will live on forever... he will be greatly missed.

We are praying for you all, our dear family. The loss of Ted is so incredibly difficult, it is hard to take in. Ted was larger than life, yet so down-to-earth. All of us looked up to him, yet he was the one that always reached out to everyone around him. Everyone felt welcome, accepted and loved by him.
We are very far away, but are with you in prayer and spirit as you go through these sad days. May God's loving embrace carry you.
We love you,

I am still in shock and denial and trying to process the loss of Ted. I am having such a difficult time with this - I can't even imagine what all of you are going through. Chuck and I have kept all of you in our prayers since we heard - praying that God will hold you close and comfort you in the loss of your husband, Dad, grandpa, son, brother, uncle. As I shared the news of Ted's passing, everyone commented on what a nice guy Ted was. He had a positive impact on all who knew him. He will be missed and remembered!

Ted was truly a great brother and friend. We had 58 wonderful years together. I miss him.

Joan I don't know where to start. I am so sorry to hear about Ted I am still in shock. I have so many great memories of him and you and us girls. He was a very cool uncle. He will be missed very much but will live in our memories forever. My heart goes out to you and your girls.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Joan, Ted was a great guy, the kind we can not afford to loose (Rosemount VFW)

To all of you, I am trully sad. Joan, when i think of you, i think of Ted. I surely didn't know him that well, but over the years, he was always very nice to me and my parents. I was envious because he was so cute and nice! I don't know what more to say. Just that you and your girls stay strong.

Joan and Family,
We were so sorry to hear about Ted. He was a wonderful person that we will never forget. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Peace to you.

To all of the Wood Family,

We would like to express our deepest sympathy on the passing of Ted. It was such a shock to us. We will always remember him as the happy, big smiling host. He always made you feel so welcome whereever he was. He was always ready to step up to the plate and help whereever he can. He will never be forgotten. He was an awesome person. He will be missed by everyone he knew. You were all so fortunate to have such a wonderful man in your life. Our prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
