My thoughts and prayers go out to Billiy Ann and his son Perry Ted Soesbee Jr.
To the Soesbee Family: I am sorry for your loss, and I am sorry that I had to find out about his passing by reading it in the newspaper this evening. Someone could have contacted me.I would like to say to whoever wrote this obituary, that he is survived by me also, his son, Perry Ted Soesbee JR.,and his Grandson, Brian Todd Soesbee. I will also say that he was a wonderful father to me for the first 17 years of my life. Rest in peace, Dad.
I am so sorry to here about Perry.He was a very good Father-in-law and Granddad. I am sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to Ted and Billie Ann. Your Dad loved both of ya’ll very much and he did the best he could.
Thank you everyone for ur kind words. To my ‘brother’ contacting goes both ways and since you decided to abandon all of us 10 years ago don’t go trying to act like I did something wrong. I wrote that obituary and if I had to do it again I would write it the same way. I’m the one here having to do this alone. Where are you??? No one knows.
