We have always been close to Ted, Noleen and Mike. On one of their visits we celebrated their 50th Anniversary at our home in Sylvan Lake. We took a trip to the Rockies and played many card games. Teds organizational skills shone when he developed a 26 item yard to do list. Ted and Clare cleared most of those before they went home Ted called periodically to see if the seven remaining items were completed. We enjoyed our visits to Florida, our card games and drinking wine with Ted, Noleen and Mike.
He will always be with us in spirit.
Love you Ted, till we see you again!
Mike, sorry to hear about your Father’s passing. He surely lived a full life and it was a gift for both of you that you were around him as he needed you especially in the last several years.
