Bernie McCracken - February 9, 2023

Good Evening Tom , Leona &Cathy, My condolences on Ted's passing; the Obituary photograph reflects the way I remember Ted. I have been away from the Cobourg area since the 60's but remember my Aunt Annie Nelson speaking about Ted visiting her several times to learn about our families common roots. Tom and I are close to the same age so that put Ted 5 years ahead of us in school. A big guy to look up to as a youngster in the primary grades. If I remember correctly he worked for a while with my Dad at Coboug GE. It was quite a surprise to get a notice through the OMI network this morning. Peace and Prayers, Bernnard Mc Cracken
