I can't believe it's been a year now since you've passed away. I sure do miss you man!  It just isn't the same without you. RIP my friend!

I haven't seen Ted since high school.  He was an excellent football player and wrestler. I was pround to be on the same team with him. I didn't have a lot of contact with him, but it was enough to know he would turn out to be a fine human being as these memorials testify.  I wish I could have gone fishing with him.  I share your loss.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

We wanted to first of all thank everybody for all your support and prayers. My dad has so many wonderful friends and family. Thank you for being a part of his life.

There's not enough time in the day to share everything that's wonderful and beautiful about my dad - I wouldn't know where to begin and I'd have a hard time finding an end.

As Father and Daughter - growing up we were two peas in a pod. Besides being the best father in the world - he was also my mentor, coach, and best friend. What a wonderful, happy life he provided for me . . . .

He is also the best grandpa around (aka Papa Ted). His grandson, Jeter had 10 wonderful years of special moments and memories with his grandpa.

We will miss you more than you will ever know but thankfully you won't be too far cause we hold you so close in our hearts. 

Love, Karrie, Zach & Jeter Noyes

Dear Papa Ted - 

I love You and Miss You so much. You were the best grandpa ever.

Love - Jeter

So sorry for your loss, cherish the memories they will be with you always and in the days to come will give you peace

Dear Dad,

Just wanted to let you know that having you in my life was like having a wish come true.  

You are a blessing and a miracle. You are my guiding light. You are a reminder that everything is all right.

There are times when the one thing that helps me get through the day . . is thinking of you.

You bring happiness to me when the world seems to be wearing a frown. When things don't quite go as planned and my world seems upside down, my thoughts of you help to set things right again.

You are so important to me. You make me think, you make me laugh, you make me feel alive. You put things in perspective for me. You always provided support and encouragement, you lessen my worries, and you increase my joys. 

There is a resolve and an inner reserve of strength in you that few ever get to see. So quiet, soft-spoken - never one to judge - always the first to give you the benefit of the doubt.  You have such a big heart and a beautiful and sensitive soul.

You are one of those ever-so-perfect feelings that always feels so much at home in my heart.

Thank you for every memory and each little moment you have given me.

Every day . . . I think of you. And I've got a million smiles to prove it.

I will always and forever Love You and Miss You, Dad. 

Love - Karrie

Even though I hadn't seen Uncle Ted in years, my memories of him were he was a simple man with few words but when he spoke...look out... it was always impactful!   Actually, it was usually hilarious! :)  My childhood memories of him were always of a sweet, gentle man who welcomed all!  Kerrie & Brian, I love you guys tons and am so sorry you have lost your Dad.  Please know that my family sends our sincere prayers and blessings through this difficult time.  Love~ Robyn Kay.

We all will miss you very much...talking with you about football, the Bears, fishing and about school. I know you are up in heaven in peace where you belong...I hope that when me, mom & dad get there we can all go fishing together like we planned.  I bet that there are big ones up there.  Rest in peace Papa Ted, we love you and miss you and will always have you in our hearts.  Love, Brian, Sherilyn & Reece Dunlap

Rest in peace, Ted. You're with the best.

Karie and Brian, I'm so sorry to hear about Ted.  What great memories of softball through the years have been going through my head since I heard!  The photos are great too.  Wishing you both peace today & in the days ahead.

Molli Galligan

I'm extending my sympathy to Ted's family.  I have many good softball memories through Paul and Ted being good friends.  Mary Ann Graves

We are sadden for you to have to say goodbye to Ted. I am sure he no longer feels pain, as I heard he had suffered! I loved watching the video of pictures and the music that went with them on his obituary! We will not be able to attend his visitation due to a prior commitment. We will have great memories of him as Jerry's younger brother. I am so glad that Joan and Jerry got to spend time with him earlier in the week! Sincerely, Steve and Janice "Jan" Dixon (Jo's sister)

Donna, Ted will be greatly missed by all. He was a great person all around. Glad he came into your life Love you Margaret

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted"-- Jesus Christ on the Mount, Matthew 5:4
 
Our love to you all.

He will always be with us in spirit and you will be able to find comfort in that when you really need him. We will remember him always.
