Ted, it was always great to see you at Lowes and talk about OU football. I will miss you.

TED WAS A GREAT FRIEND – I WORKED WITH HIM AT SIGHT N SOUND WHEN I HANDLED ALL OF THEIR ADVERTISING. TED WAS AN INCREDIBLE SALES PERSON – ONE OF THE FRIENDLY PEOPLE YOU WOULD
HAVE THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING. WHENEVER I WENT INTO LOWES – I HAD TO SEE IF HE WAS WORKING
AND VISIT WITH HIM – HE DID NOT LET PEOPLE KNOW HE HAD HEALTH PROBLEMS – SEVERAL WEEKS AGO
I STOPPED INTO LOWES AND FOUND OUT HE WAS AWAY ON SICK LEAVE – I ASKED THE MANAGER TO
HAVE HIM CALL ME – NEVER HEARD FROM HIM – FOUND OUT TODAY 1-25 THAT TED HAD PASSED AWAY.
MY WIFE WENDY AND I WISH WE COULD HAVE TOLD OUR GREAT FRIEND – GOODBYE!
GOD BLESS TED!!!!!
