We are so sorry to hear of Teddy's passing. He was a great guy and friend.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Teddy. May you be comforted by the wonderful promise our Heavenly Father has made at Isaiah 26:19 and John 5:28,29. God will soon undo death by means of the resurrection and reunite us with our loved ones to a life free of sickness and death. May this hope and your precious memories give you the strength to endure in the days ahead.

My deepest sympathy to the Olesen family. Northford will never be the same without "Teddy".
My parents (Red and Eleanor Willisma) always admired Billy, Teddy and Mickey.
We were so sorry to hear of Teddy's passing. Teddy was a wonderful man who was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. We will so miss his presence in Northford!
May he now rest in peace. Mom, Elizabeth and Amy, please accept our sincere condolences.
I am very sorry for your loss. Although I did not know your loved one personally, I hope knowing that they are in our loving heavenly Father's memory will bring your family comfort during this difficult time. Very soon now we can look forward to God's promise at a Revelation 21:4: "… Death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore, the former thing have passed away."
Very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family.
