North Bend, NE Monday, May 8, 2023 Sher;I am saddened by learning of the passing of your father. I have many many wonderful memories of your mom and dad from my childhood living across the street from them. Over the past years, I would see him from time to time at LeRoy's Steakhouse (Rawhide Steakhouse) in North Bend and it was always a pleasure to speak with him. Your family is in my prayers. Both your parents were wonderful people and are and will be missed greatly.

Gray Court, SC Tuesday, May 2, 2023 When we lost our grandpa we never expected our grandma to find love again. Ted came into her life and filled in all the holes that they both needed. They were both giddy and smitten right from the start. As we watched their love grow, Ted became a beloved father and grandfather to our family. His smile, his gentle ways, his kind and loving words were always present. His love for our Grandma was precious and true. They found joy, happiness, togetherness, and love. We are so grateful to have had Ted in our lives and hearts. May God welcome him home and reunite him with his first love and daughter that he so lovingly spoke of so often. Sending all my love to all that loved this beautiful man.
