We knew Ted when he lived in Edmonton - I first met him at the University of Alberta chaplaincy where we would attend weekly dinners, bible studies and later host meals at an inner city church. Later he worked on my in-law's organic vegetable farm with us and became a steadfast friend.
We admired Ted for his vision and for the exciting ways that he wanted to use his gifts. He was deliberate in considering God's path for him and he sought ways to fulfill God's will in his life with such integrity.
Two months ago our second son was born and we have named him after the friend that we will always remember - Eli Theodore - he is a beautiful gift to us and I know that someday he will be proud to bear Ted's name.
