    Uncle Ted, hard to believe I won’t hear “hey kiddo” again or “did your Aunt put you up to this?” whenever she couldn’t do the daily check in. Your quick wit and political rants will be missed!! Ironic you left us on Trump’s last day in office! LOL
    I also know you had some great angels waiting for you….

    Very sorry to hear of Ted’s passing. He was a great guy to work with; if Ted was on shift, I knew there would be a few good laughs! Good golfer and hockey player, too; all you had to do was ask him, and he’d tell you!
    Nice photo, Russ. Thank you. Ted will be missed. Ed Woods.

    Ted was a great guy. Always fun to talk to. Great sense of humor. Poor taste in football teams but always great to talk football with. RIP Ted. You will be missed by so many. Condolences to all in the great loss.

    I am truly sorry to hear of Teds passing. I had the pleasure of working with him at Labatts and remember him as very well liked by all who knew him.

    Uncle Ted, I can’t believe you are gone! Your quirky and sarcastic sense of humor will be very missed, the random texts, calls and parenting boys advice which always brought a smile to my face. We will miss you- Love Sheryl

    Sad to hear of Ted’s passing. He was part of the West End family of friends that share many fond memories of Ted. He was a fine man?

    Ted always had a joke or a laugh, when I would visit the Carb. room. Ted will always be remembered for the torn long underwear he wore, in the dressing room during the House League hockey games and for his dislike of Notre Dame U. A true nice guy. JF

    Sending my deepest condolences for your loss on behalf of my dad Russ Hoffman and my Uncle Tim Swayze. Thinking of you all during this difficult time and sending much love from Brantford.

    I moved to Walnut Street when I was 12 and Ted was one of the many kids I met. I met up with him again when I moved back into the neighbour hood with my family and he followed and moved into the neighbourhood also. He was the same kind, nice guy I knew way back. Ted will certainly be missed by all who knew him. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

    You will be missed Uncle Ted especially our silent chats!

    I was deeply sadden to hear the news just today on the passing of one my very dear Labatt Family members! Ted was always so kind, helpful and so very funny! Had so much fun while I was in his football pools! Thoughts of memories with Ted in them, always brings a smile and a chuckle. Best work years of my life had Ted in them. My sincere condolences to all who knew & loved him.

    My condolences to all Ted’s family and friends. There was no one better to pass the drudgery of shiftwork with than Ted. He was extremely competent, well read, a great listener and able to find humour in unlikely places. He left good memories.

    of Teddy.We were reminiscing on the phone,not long ago.He still holds the hole in one record for
    all of his golfing buddies.He made
    sure we were aware of his feat,
    with his humour of course.
    Will miss him for sure.

    Ted is a piece of Labatt lore and one of the many characters they employed. He was a considerate and helpful man that always had a smile, a joke or a pool to join. I have seen Ted sparingly in recent years but he is often in my mind . I will miss you, rest in peace Ted. My condolences to Teds family.

    Our kindest condolences to the Prichett family with special thoughts for Joanne for her loss of her good friend and little brother. We remember Ted for his friendly affability and ready humor. I smile when I think of him as the 4th “Bonanza Boy” along with his cousin/brothers, Terry, Don and Kim. So sorry.
