Posted on: Monday, March 7, 2016Dear Shirley and family – I just learned about Ted’s passing today. I am truly very sorry for your loss. I was a customer of Ted’s for over 30 years. It was always a great pleasure to chat with Ted about the news of the day, his practical tips and advice on many subjects, and his news about your large family of whom he was very proud. One day I had a migraine while he was cutting my hair – to the amazement of others, he massaged my head for a few minutes to make me feel better. I will miss him. Sincerely, Fred Graham

I am so sorry for your loss. Ted was a wonderful man and always had a smile on his face.
I was out of the country and only learnt of his passing today.
We have fond memories of you both and the terrific care of my children while they were young, is never forgotten.
Thinking of you
Brenda and Dave
