My deepest sympathy is extended to Mr, Tedford's family, I knew him from the times he cared for my Python, while I was on the Glastonbury Police Team, then later I went on to work at Colt, Teddy was a living legend and a gentleman! Very well thought of by all.

Don and I talked many times at the "Y" and while he recuperated from his hip surgery, mostly about the war, I still knew only a fraction of all he'd accomplished. I'm very thankful I had the opportunity to know Don. My condolences to the family.

My sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. Be assured that the almighty God truly cares for the family!

May you find comfort in the promise that "... there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous" (Acts 24:15), and very soon "... no resident will say, 'I am sick'" (Isa. 33:24) because "... death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”(Rev. 21:4)

How is this possible? Visit JW. ORG and search for 'Why did Jesus die?'. Then watch the video.

Don was a great man who I enjoyed conversing with often at the VFW. He needed a jacket for a ceremony and I had a leather VFW jacket I gave him. It made me extremely proud to have him accept it.

Linda and family,
I'm sad to hear of Donald's passing. I enjoyed our long chats as he proudly told me about his life and career. He was a brave and intelligent man. You were blessed to have him a part of your lives as I'm sure he felt the same way about you. My deepest sympathy to you all.
