Ted passed away peacefully at Royal Jubilee Hospital on March 19, 2021, at the age of 84. Predeceased by his wife, Florence; granddaughter, Sabrina; sister and brother-in-law, May and Charlie; brothers and sisters-in-law, Hing, Yee Shee, May, Jeff, Roger, Anna, and Diana. He will be lovingly remembered and missed by many including his children, Claudia (Robert), Gerald, Claude (Sharon), and Geraldine (Jackson); his grandsons, Chris, Jordan, Jacob, Landon and Tyler; his brothers, Tim (Ella) and David; sisters-in-law, Dorothy and Nina (Doug); and many cousins, nieces, nephews and family friends.
Ted worked for many years at Fairway Markets and then devoted all of his time to taking care of Florence after he retired. Many will remember his willingness to assist others, his kindness, hard-working ethics and his love for the SF 49ers. He brought a smile to many people’s faces with his funny, but no-nonsense wit! The family would like to express their gratitude to the Palliative Care Team at RJH for their compassionate care.

My heartfelt condolences to Claudia, Robert & family,
Ted was a lovely human being & I was fortunate to work with him. He had a sunny personality & a keen sense of humour – making people smile & laugh, especially if they were having a challenging day. Thanks to Ted for sharing his positive spirit.
What a privilage to view your Dad’s memorial, to hear each of you speak so highly of Ted. Last time we spoke with him was at Tims when he was with Claudia and Robert. A special man for sure, with a lovely smile. Our thoughts are of both Florence and Ted. God bless each of you with His peace at this time and with many happy memories of your parents and grandparents Love with sympathy from Dave and Joan Buchner
