    Dear Faith and entire Beebe family,
    I am profoundly sad to know your dad is no longer with us. In the five years I have known him he’s unquestionably made me feel like a member of the family and I so appreciate him for that. I will always remember him as a great family man whose integrity, moral compass and values were unsurpassed. I’ve lost a great friend and cousin in Ted. May he rest in eternal peace with your mom. Thank you for everything, Ted. I will miss you dearly and remember you often.

    I was privileged to have known him for a short time, as a regular visitor, at the church in which his wife,daughter and sister-law attend. He always had a smile, even though he may not have felt good. Mr. Beebe was certainly a good hearted man, with a strong faith. Rest In Peace.

    Ted was my daughter donna’s father in law and even though I did not know him that well over the years I was able to learn and enjoy this man’s kindness and good humor over the past year. He dearly loved his children and grandchildren and was a truly good decent man. May he rest in peace.’

    To the Beebe Family –

    I met Mr Bebee (how I always addressed him) when he joined our faith sharing, Tuesday morning, group at All Saint’s formerly St Margaret Mary’s Catholic Church. He was a very interesting and caring individual and we were blessed to be able to support each other each week through our faith. May God bless the Bebee family at this most difficult time and may Mr. Bebee find eternal rest.

    I see by Teddy’s obituary that he was a very accomplished man. My sister Barb said she enjoyed many conversations with him and I can see why. May Your Memories Bring you Comfort.
