UNCE TED WE LOVE YOU AN WE WILL MISS YOU. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEART AN MEMORIES
Uncle Ted, I have so many fond memories of you. One of my very first memories is you "teaching" me to swim. I swung off of that rope and landed too far away, but when I came up, you were right behing me insuring me that I was ok and could do it on my own. You have an AMAZING heart and would do anything for your family. I enjoyed our last visit together last year when you and Andrew stopped on your way to Florida. You are in the arms of your Heavenly Father! Give Dad a big hug and kiss for me, also please hold Justin in your arms and tell him how much I love and miss him. Love always, Tonya
I remember Uncle Ted coming to Indiana about once or twice a year from about 1981-1988 to preach an old fashioned tent revival in our hometown. He was the oldest preacher in our family. So from the youngest minister of the Gospel in this family, I'll give you a message that Ted would want you to hear! He would say There's a heaven to gain, and a hell to shun! Jesus is alive and well, he is God's only begotten Son. He is coming again, very soon. Are you ready to meet him?
We love you Uncle Ted. Give Dad, Mom, Maw and Paw big hugs. You are another of our guardian angels now. Watch over us until we meet again. With love and deepest respect
for a great man, Love The McCray bunch.
Your were a special Uncle, I have many fond memories. You will always have a special place in my heart. You will be missed. Give your "Sis" a big hug from me at those pearly gates.
Uncle Ted, I have many memories of you,your smile was infectious, your sister (my grandmother) loved you so. Thank you for loving her. You will be forever loved and missed.
Uncle Ted, you always have huge big hugs. You called me RIO. Not sure how that nickname came about but thank you for all the memories.( giving me coffee) and lots of memories at maw and paws house. Love you and you will be missed.

Our beloved "Uncle Ted" we loved him very much and we will miss him terribly. My Uncle Ted, was a man who loved life to the fullness. He enjoyed the simple things in life. He loved the Lord and he could sing a good gospel song at any time. He is with Jesus and he had many to meet him at the gate. Polly's daughter, Linda (Phillips) Anderson.
