Another one of my classmates has left us with so many good memories. Junior as we knew him was fun to be around at West Buncombe and Erwin. My dad and his grandpa were good friends. Junior I will always remember the good times. I don’t think I have seen you since graduation 1965. May God Bless his family.
So sorry for your loss. We loved having Ted as a neighbor. Blessings to all of you.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family!
Ted was one of the first salesman I met while on the Ingles set crew. He was a kind, caring and loving person. He will be greatly missed by many!! RIP , my friend. Your tough journey is over and now you will live forever in a much better place.
Worked with Ted on the Ingles set crew many years ago. He always had some foolishness going on, and was fun to be around. Our sympathies to the family.
Ted always smiled and carried on with everyone he worked around. He really enjoyed getting something over on my Dad whenever he could. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

So sorry for your loss. I could not attend the service on Thursday, but you have been in my thoughts and will be in my prayers.
Some of the folks from Augusta at the SE Customer Service Center got together this weekend in Atlanta. We were talking about old times and sales force we worked with and Ted’s name came up. None of us had talked to him since he left Procter & Gamble. One of the woman looked his name up and found out that he passed last year. He was the sweetest, kindest man. We all loved working with him. So polite- a Southern Gentleman. We are all so sorry and prayers to the family. Dianne, Elaine, Missy, Deb, & Linda
