Ted was a good friend to my mother, Dorothy Krooner, for many years. We have not forgotten that Ted and Mary were helpful to her in so many ways. We remember Ted as a soft-spoken, kind and understanding person and know he will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
TO TARAS AND FAMILY, SORRY TO READ OF THE LOSS OF YOUR BELOVED FATHER. MAY YOU FIND STRENGTH IN FAMILY AND FRIENDS DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. GAIL DOLYAK-CHIDSEY
We left a note her of our great memories and a photo of Ted taken during a visit at my mother’s house on Mansfield Street.
