I only recently had the opportunity to meet Ted as he graciously accepted the tedious job of repainting the rails of my home. Needless-to-say, he did a meticulous job. Both my wife and I enjoyed our short acquaintance with Ted and it was obvious to us that he deeply loved his family. We are so sorry to hear of his passing and wish to extend our love and condolences.

Thank you Ted for all the love you showed Jesiah and I. You always welcomed us into your family,home and heart. I loved to hear you all playing in the band. Loved the way you all came together to play even during the hard times. We showed everyone the importance of sticking together! I LOVED spending 4th of July out there with you all! You all will have a special place in my heart! Also i send out a daily text message prayer and scripture if anyone wants it i'll send it to you. I'm on face book. send me your number and I'll add you. Uncle Teddy i'll see you in heaven when Jesus calls us all home!

God bless you all. And sorry i couldn't make the service. My prayers are with you!
