I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for the family.
May God grant you Peace beyond understanding during this time of loss. Our prayers are with you and the entire family and remember we are here and you are never alone, in Jesus Name. Amen
Maurice seems to have had a very full and happy life. His family will miss him but be left with wonderful memories of this loving and accomplished man. I know his brother, Doug who also is successful while “giving back” to make the world a better place.
So very very sorry Michael and family.
Your Father was a very accomplished man
and will be greatly missed by many.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Norla
Wednesday dinner date night at Highland Springs with Ted & Lois. Always most enjoyable with good conversation and many laughs. We’ll cherish those memories.

Ted was a great friend and family man, and a devout Christian as well as a dedicated and hard working petroleum geologist, committee and board chairman. He will be sorely missed.
Just read in the Wooster summer magazine of Ted’s death. We spent many hours together in the geology building and have kept in touch thru the years. Patty and I send our deepest sympathy to the family. It was always a pleasure to be around him and he will be greatly missed by everyone.
