Some folks have contacted us about flowers, food, the burial.
Ted was not interested in flowers. He raised funds for both the Miami Valley Makos Swim Team and the Stivers School for the Arts Swim Team. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to either of those swim teams. Donations may be sent to them in care of Anne Frayne, 18 W. First St., Dayton, Ohio 45402.
As mentioned previously, there will not be a viewing, funeral or memorial service. There will be a celebration of Ted's life and tribute to him on Sunday, May 6, at 3:30 pm at Miami Valley Golf Club, Dayton, Ohio. We have scheduled it in the future in hope that friends and family may adjust their schedules and attend.
The family will receive friends and family on Monday, March 26, from 3:30 pm - 8:30 pm at Miami Valley Golf Club, Salem Avenue, Dayton, Ohio. We would appreciate family and friends not stopping by our home to visit but to visit us at Miami Valley Golf Club.
For those of you who have asked, Ted will be buried next to his parents at Centerville Cemetery on Tuesday, March 27, at 3:00 pm. This was initially expected to involve only family, but others have asked to attend. For those who desire to be at the burial, you may attend. It is a very small cemetery. The motorcade will leave from Hazel Baker Snider Funeral Home at approximately 1:30 pm on Tuesday. If you desire to be a pallbearer, please text Anne Frayne at 967-602-0798.
As for food, there will be some family coming in from out of town. Food is not expected. But, for those of you who like to cook and to provide food for comfort, we will gladly accept and indulge.
Again, we appreciate your prayers and support. Your friendship and caring is beyond what we could ever expect or imagine. From our hearts and with much love, Anne

Hi Anne,
ReplyDeleteAs I write, you are preparing to receive family and friends at the golf club. I am praying constantly for you all, and am with you in spirit. I just know Ted is there, too! May God grant you love, strength, patience, and inspiration today and always.
Fondly, Carol Hahn Cooper
