  3. To the Reeves family:

    May God be with all of you in these sad days. I taught Ted in the 8th grade many years ago. He let me hunt on his property one time. I will miss seeing him driving on Avery Creek Road and waving as I wnet by. He had a grin a mile wide! Rest in peace Ted. Tommy Koontx

  14. Ted was such a character, always had a good story to tell and made me laugh. You haven’t eaten a good cantaloupe until you had one from Ted. He was always willing to share his crop secrets and the bounty from them. Rest in peace Ted.

  21. I had just seen him a couple of weeks ago at Boone’s Corner. Was so excited to hear we would not have to forego ‘Ted’s tomatoes,’ when he told me he was going to have them this year. Absolutely the best tomatoes my family has eaten every year since the seventies when I went to work with him at the power plant. He was a very nice man, my condolences to all.
