My thoughts and prayers are with you Jo and your family. My best memory would be when we first met. How kind and generous you both were. Sharing with my children by taking them to a farm to pick apples for their first time. My children to have cousins to be with when we were together. You both were beautiful people inside and out. Always including us in your life. May Ted rest in peace.

A Wonderful FriendTed and I met in 1966. My transfer from a small satellite company to the main plant of Research Tool and Die brought us together. Ted was a full-fledged tool and die maker at Research. My transfer here was the start of my second year in the apprenticeship program when we met. It is hard to say what brings two people together, but Ted and I became friends early on. This proved to be a wonderful friendship. Ted mentored me for the next three years. He went out of his way to show and teach me things during the years I spent as an apprentice. Ted's guidance covered more than the work we did there. He made sure my thoughts and actions were work related and always advised me to stay clear of some of the Tom Foolery that other young men did. He sometimes saw me doing something that was wrong. When this happened, his gentle voice and explanation was all it took to help me understand there was a better method for the work I was doing.Now Ted also influenced me by good example. He was dedicated to doing the best job possible. He worked hard and worked far more hours than most people. While work was important, his wife Joe and family were held far above all other things. Ted was diligent with saving for his children's education and for the days when he and Joe would settle down to retirement.Even with all his hard work, Ted found time to relax just a little. You see the pair of us would go fishing together for a few hours once in a while. This was usually early in the morning and we would then stop at lunch time so he could spend the rest of the day with his family.His words of wisdom were priceless. In this short message it is very difficult to give Ted credit for the positive influence he had on my life. We certainly need people like Ted to guide us down the highway of life. I can never repay him for all he did to mentor me. Because of his great example, I have worked to help and teach young folks in the same spirit that Ted use to guide me.Ted, please rest in peace.Roy Glenn
