Ted was always such a sweet man. Always had the most pleasant smile. I always enjoyed when he made some awesome new furniture for Ashley when she was little because I got to play on it to. He was so talented with his woodwork.
Sorry for the loss of yalls uncle, Ted was a good friend and neighbor.
Today we lost a very Sweet Precious Soul. Ted was a gentle and fine man. He was a gifted fellow, and he was special in his quiet ways. Our loss, Heavens gain. We will miss him! Resting in peace, no more pain. Our loving sympathy to the Brothers, and all those closest to Ted. God Bless you Kelly for being there for Teddy Bear... He had an angel in you!! Much Love and sympathy. God Be Your Comforter....
