Ted was my boss and relative. Doc Harris and Ted were cousins. Doc being my Father-in-law. Ted was always smiling and a fair person to work for. He might have given me some preferential treatment but not a lot 😊
God bless you and your family at this time ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™

I knew Teddy (Mr Harris) for a short period and he was (is) a kind and happy soul. I was honored to be part of his care and life in this period and he made my life better. I like to think we had a close connection and we bonded as friends immediately. Without words we understood each other. Even to the end he knew I was there for him and that I would do right by him. He will be missed in this life but we will rejoice in the next when we meet again. Love you bunches Teddy you are the best!
