So sorry to hear of Ted's passing! What a great man he was! Always friendly and smiling (just like Betty). Think of you often! Much love! - Posted by: Pauline Peters (Cote) (Co worker) on: May 03, 2022

I first met Ted, when he was my Adviser, during my early years as a Baseball Umpire. He helped me become more confident and able to officiate, and, more importantly, have FUN, doing something I loved! I told him that, when I fully retired, I would join a Square Dance Club, and learn what I needed, to dance while he called. I'm proud to say that I did just that, because I wanted to repay Ted for what he did for my Umpiring career, and because I knew it would be great Fun for him, and for me. I'm so glad that I had a chance to know Ted, and work with him. - Posted by: Ken Valainis (Friend) on: Mar 03, 2022

Thank you Ted and Betty for your amazing square dance calling and not giving up on me when I was learning full plus at your club. I have many fond memories of traveling with you both as we danced in the states, Canada and the many demos we did at several nursing homes to name a few. I was especially blessed to have Ted come out to my trailer near Grand Beach and call square dances for my birthday. You will be missed by many who had the pleasure to call you our friend. Thoughts going out to Betty and Paul during this difficult time. Love Lois - Posted by: Lois Saunderson (Friend) on: Feb 01, 2022

When Mr K was busy with square dancing he often kindly allowed me to use his seats to enjoy his beloved Bombers play. Football was such a special time for him and his son Paul over many years. So sorry to hear of his passing and heartfelt condolences to Paul & Lil and of course his wife Betty. - Posted by: Rob Clake (Friend of the Family) on: Jan 31, 2022

Ted was a magnificent square dance caller. He loved sharing his skill set with others, especially newer callers. He displayed superb showmanship. I loved his sequin vests and great stories and jokes, He will be missed at the Alberta Convention where he was an honorary Albertan for his years of service. Thank you Betty for sharing Ted with us for so many years. He will be missed. - Posted by: Gary S Smith (Friend) on: Jan 29, 2022

I was shocked at hearing of Ted's passing. In my mind, Ted was a forever kind of individual. How could he pass away? He had gone through many challenges but came out of them successfully. May he rest in peace, with no more health issues and no more pain. He loved to talk and to call to all of us square dancers. He had numerous friends throughout Canada and the United States. Thanks Betty for drawing Ted into the square dance world. You helped him to be a successful square dance caller. Your patience and persistence was well received. Betty, may you manage through this very difficult time of grieving. I have many fond memories to keep in my heart forever. Peace be with you, Betty. - Posted by: Lorraine Kozera (Square Dance Friend) on: Jan 29, 2022
