I'm sorry to hear of Ted's passing. He was a very knowledgeable carpenter -- and a perfectionist at that! He did wonderful work with wood, electrical, and plumbing.
I know that Ted was saddened by the passing of his brother, David, recently. Ted's the one who informed me of it, and I still have his voicemail.
His pride and joy was his daughter, Morgan, which he loved with all his heart. He was very proud of her, and always spoke fondly of her.
Ted was faithful to Jesus. He his now at home with his parents, and brother David. I wish him and his family all the best during these difficult times.

So very sad to hear of Teds passing. Lots of fun memories with him back in the day. The parties, cruising in his cool custom van and his fun personality. Thoughts and prayers to his daughter and family.

I met Tedd many years ago when I was in high school. He is an amazing human being, so talented in home restoration. Funny and smart. Always kind. May God bless him and forgive him for his weakness of humankind. He will be missed by all who love him.
My sincere condolences to his family.
