Shann and Ken, So sorry to hear of your father's passing Shann. Our sincere condolences to you and your family. Terry and Debbie Heffernan
To Hope and family, I have wonderful memories of curling days with you and Ted. Especially, Friday ‘couple’s’steak night’ and Ted would bring his bologna. Ted was full of wise humour, and such a great man. May your happy memories bring smiles to all. Take care. Diane Godkin
Hope, Our thoughts are with you and the rest of the family at this difficult time. Ted cut my hair for close to 50 years at various spots around London, Hyde Park, Arva and finally his basement. During that time I had the privilege of hearing many of his stories, was given his book (which I thoroughly enjoyed) and learned life lessons from him. Ted was multitalented with a zest for life and a great understanding of people. You will be missed my friend. RIP Ted Laurie and Sandy Stanton
Hope and family, Have good memories of putting on the Lions New Years party with Ted, he was a lot of fun to work with and know. Sincere condolences, Hugh and Lorraine Lynch
Hope and Family My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May your many treasured memories bring you comfort and peace.
Hope and extended family. Sending our sympathy to all. Ted was a great guy. Always had a meet and greet kind of smile and was a pleasure to chat with - which we did on occasion at Tim Hortons. Memories last a lifetime so cherish all those great moments to get you through the difficult days. RIP Ted. Rob and Debbie Andrews
Hope & family; There were great conversations and laughter when conversing with Ted. Many a hair cut came with words of wisdom. Thinking of you at this sad time.
Memories
Sending our condolences to the entire family during this difficult time. “Teddy the Barber” was truly one of a kind... from one of my first haircuts to my wedding day haircut to cutting my son’s hair for the first time (and beyond), he never ceased to amaze with his humour, kindness and stories. Thank you for the memories Teddy, you will be greatly missed. Condolences from Mike Huffman (& Family)
