I met Ted when I was assigned to Loveridge’s long wall. He taught me every thing I know about long walls . We turned two failing long walls around and we went to England to look at Robinson Run’s long wall. We became good friends. He always helped me when I needed help .. Ted was the most caring person I have ever known. He helped everyone. He never met a stranger. Ted was a co worker and a friend. I will miss his optimism.and wisdom. He never met a challenge he couldn’t overcome. Ted will be missed by all he knew. Prayers for his family
