Life story

On May 22, 2021, the day of his beloved granddaughter Icelynn's 2nd birthday, Ted slipped quietly away to enter his eternal home while at the E.M. Crowe Memorial Hospital in Eriksdale, MB.

He will be forever missed by his best friend and wife Linda; children, Patty (Robby), Cheryl (Mike), Jason, grandchildren, Bryce (Megan), Halli (Lou), Nick, Matty, Icelynn, Taryn; and great-grandchild Adeline. Fondly remembered by: his sisters, Christine and Linda; Dan Watson, Graham Price, Bob Neal, Garry and Corrine Seidler, along with numerous friends and relatives.

Ted was predeceased by son Darryl, daughter-in-law Elsa; parents, Abb and Polly; an infant sister, brother-in-law Raymond; in-laws, Eino and Sylvia, and many friends and relatives.

On May 28, 2021, Ted travelled from the Hall Road to his first home, along the lake. He came "Home" for a final farewell to the farm and cattle he cared for all these years. From there he continued to Scotch Bay All Saints Cemetery for a family graveside service. There will be no future service due to Covid.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent to the E.M. Crowe Memorial Hospital Guild, c/o Debbie Lundale, Box 474, Eriksdale, MB R0C 0W0.
