I worked with Ted and Ethel at Port of Call Marina. I was 15 years old when they gave me the opportunity for my first ever job. I worked there for the next 5 summers. Ted taught me a lot, including how to drive a truck with a boat on the front and back (at the same time) of an old brown pick up truck. He took me under his wing and taught me about mechanics and most importantly, he taught me work ethic. I stopped working at the marina when i joined the military, but we stayed in touch. They came to visit me in Cold Lake, Alberta and also when i was posted in Trenton. Ted loved the RCAF and model planes. I was happy to give him a tour when i could. The last i spoke with Ted was recently and i told him how i am getting promoted to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer, a long way from filling up big boats down a very long dock. He told me he was proud of what i have become and i was looking forward to having him come to my Change of Command ceremony. He never mentioned that he was requiring surgery. I am glad we got to know each other throughout all these years and i am grateful for our last phone call. You were a great man and will be missed. Jeff Bruce

Thank you so much Jeff. He told me about that last call and he truly was proud of your military career. I'd be happy to make sure mom is there for your ceremony in his place.

We are saddened to learn of Ted’s passing. Ted was one of the first people we met when we moved to Streetsville. He was ever present and always active in community affairs. When he and Ethel moved to Balsover we often dropped by their Ports of Call marina when cruising the waterways. Fill up with gas, maybe some mechanical advice, always a chat, and perhaps some libation made for a pleasant stop over. Our sincere condolences to the family. RIP Ted, may your tools always be nearby. Bob & Brenda Holmes & family.

Thank you for the kind words. Mom and dad always loved when friends from Streetsville visited the marina. So many memories of growing up in Streetsville - the friends, Russell’s BP, snowmobile club, dances at the arena and dads involvement with the Bread and Honey festival just to name a few.
