Rest in Peace “Uncle” Teddy. I am so glad that we got to keep in touch with you after my parents passed. I am grateful for our wonderful visit with you a couple of weeks ago. You will truly be missed. Lots of love, Jeannie
To the family of Teddy. I just wanted to share my deep sympathy for you with your sudden loss. Teddy often talked about the dash in between the dates of bitrth and death on a gravestone and how it was so much more than just a dash. Well Teddy’s dash ~ during his short time here in this life ~ was so amazing. He touched so many lives. He helped so many people whether it was in his work or in his everyday life. I know I will sorely miss him and will have such fond memories of one of the most gentle loving man I have ever met.
With my deepest sympathy,
Chrissy Young
