He will be missed by his neighbors, at work. Loved seeing his smile and hearing his positive outlook on life, even in sickness.
Love you Janice!

It was a pleasure to spend time with Ted recently and get to know Casey's special friend. I enjoyed our day in the boat last summer; hope he did too. May God bless you at this time of loss and lonliness. Sincerely,Jeanie Vangemeren
