Chrisann and family, I am so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. Ted was such a sweet man with a contagious smile. May you all find comfort in the memories shared by family and friends during this difficult time.

“HARLEY” – a multi-generational family that by God’s Grace we have known and loved for 55+ years! A friendship that began with Ted, Sr. and Grace, and has continued with their progeny. We fondly remember births, baptisms, confirmations, weddings, funerals, anniversaries, and homes scattered about the Easton community filled with a constant awareness of the presence of the Divine and overflowing with expressions of God’s Love. Today we mourn with you over Ted Jr’s earthly departure, but we rejoice to know of his assured arrival in the Heavenly Mansion, where Jesus and a roomful of “Harleys” are surely celebrating his arrival! God bless all of you at this time! (In Florida; otherwise we would be present!)
