    Extending to you and your family my sincere condolences on the loss of Ted.

    My deepest condolences to the family.
    I was shocked to hear of the passing of Ted. I will miss his brash humor. He cracked me up all the time!
    I would see him almost every week when making my delivery to Metro. Always looked forward to it!
    Won’t be the same without him.
    I will miss you buddy, rest in peace.

    My deepest condolences to you Michelle and all your family. I have fond memories of Ted from working with him at the 404 Dominion…Metro. Always had a big smile and was a fun guy to work with. Lean on all your happy memories.

    Tyler and family,
    First I give my condolences to you and your family.
    I didn’t know your dad that well but I do have a memory or two.
    First one was when I told you to just park your truck on my grass and you were questioning me. Turns out your dad would have “kicked your ass” if you did that at home. He was very proud of his grass you said.
    Second- one time at a hockey celebration at one of the team mate’s parents house- they had a hot tub and I watched your dad who got a dishwasher pod and tossed it in- all of a sudden the tub was completely filled with bubbles- so much bubbles that it was over flowing with bubbles- I laughed so hard! I have never seen so many bubbles in my life.
    Apparently your dad was known for his practical jokes!
    Please remember these times!
