Our sincere condolences for the Grant family. My dear friend Ted, (aka to me as, Tuddy) many times we laughed, sang, played music, worked on equipment and airplanes. No regrets my friend. We did together what we wanted and said our “see ya later” some time ago. There is no word in my aboriginal language that’s says goodbye, we say, “We will see you again”. Miin Wah Gah Wabmin.
You are on your Spirit Journey. Some day you will come and ask if we are ready for ours, and if it is, I will join you.
To the family,
Teds spirit will have a way of contacting you , a thought of him, a memory that makes you smile, a song, a warm breeze, a fish jumping, a airplane, these are not your doing, its Teds Angel visits to you, Linda, Laurie, Mike and the grandkids. Never say goodbye, he’s there, with you always.

Linda, Mike, Laurie and families
Our sincere condolences on the loss of your Husband, Dad and Grandpa.
Ted and I worked together for many years at the MTO in Longlac, and spent lots of time
plowing snow and applying sand / salt to the Hwys. We also socialized together, Laurie can
probably recall one time heading home to tell her Mom… you gotta come and see this Dad is
really loaded… and we had a ball with a one man band…. I got to go flying with Ted a few
of times in the Citabria… he reassured me “any landing you can walk away from is a good one!!!”
We saw a moose from up high one trip and soon we were down low enough for an awesome view.
Many times we would get together with Roger, Ted some guitars, a ukulele, maybe an accordion and stomp out some good “old time” music, Lanny and I were far better stompers than pickers…
A good friend and co-worker, many good memories
I’ll leave you with an old Irish saying “May you be half an hour in Heaven before the Devil knows your gone”
