We are saddened to hear of Ted's passing. You were such good and patient neighbours for 30 years. We remember fondly the snowmobile trip we took with you to Canyon Lake up past Elk Lake. I learned a lot from Ted during our neighbourly chats in between lawn mowing and yard chores. Our thoughts and hearts are with you.
Mrs. Bates, Bonnie & Ron

So sorry to hear of Ted’s passing. As a child growing up in Latchford, one of my fondest memories was watching the Latchford Men’s fastball games with Ted as the pitcher.
My condolences to Muriel, Percy, Bill and Bonita.
