I’m very sorry for your loss and time of mourning. I met Ted Amish driving and enjoyed many conversations with him.We helped each other out with big loads for weddings and funerals. He will be missed by his Amish Family and definitely by me. He was a great guy to talk to when we would wait for the Amish.I will pray for comfort for your loss. Rick and Rhonda Bland
