No words, no matter how tender‚ can touch what you’re feeling inside. No one can soften the sorrow deep down where your heartaches reside. Still, we are thinking about you and hoping it helps in some way simply to know that we care about you and share in your sadness today. A Blessing from above, Lyle & Tina MK Wilcox John 14:1-3

I am so sorry to hear of Ted's passing. I worked for Brenda and Ted at the Bean Pot many years ago. When it snowed I was terrified to drive in it and Ted would come pick me up and get me to work. It was my very first job and if a customer was out of line he would always come to my rescue. Great people to work for and Ted impacted a lot of lives during my time working for him. Good people, Ted will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with Brenda and the family during this difficult time.

I was a student at ETSU when Ted and John Washburn came to speak to my class. After the class I told them I needed a place to do my internship. Ted said when you come to the Office ask to work in Unicoi Co. That began my life in Probation and a friendship that lasted over 30 years. Ted helped me get my job. He taught me about the Justice system. We had a lot of good times. I will be out of town during the service but I want his family to know how much he ment to me and my family.

Ted, just a good all around guy. If someone needed help, Ted be first one to help. Will be missed by the Hardee’s crew. I will certainly miss him. My son was his doctor for several years, said there will never be another Ted, he thought a lot of him.
