I remember as a young girl riding my bike up Inkster Blvd to K-Tel. I could never forget. I was working following the orders of both brothers. I wish I never lost the button thingy, it's this item you poke thru with a nylon tab and button never comes off. Too many items I spent my money hey employee discount. I did random jobs mostly receptionist. - Posted by: Esther (employed) on: Sep 30, 2014

I believe that we are born to 'Serve OTHER People' because our lives are forever changed, when our child is born. I believe our adult 'Life Purpose' is to 'Serve OTHER People' and we are rewarded in direct proportion to how much service we are, to OTHER People. I believe we 'Go Home', to 'Serve OTHER People', because I always review my own 'Life's Purpose' and my 'Life's Progress', each time a friend 'Goes Home'. Thanks for your friendship all these years Ted. Your rewards in life indicate a large 'Service to OTHERS'. All the KIVES family are in our prayers. May God bless you all.

Our sincere condolences to all the family on the sad loss of Ted. Ted and I were dear friends when I lived in Winnipeg and he always had a smile when greeting friends and customers at the Viscount Hotel. He was always very kind, generous and honourable. He had a wonderful sense of humour and it was a privilege to call him "my friend". Rest in peace my dear friend. Kenny Dusang and Family - Posted by: Kenny Dusang (Friend) on: Sep 12, 2013
