Just found out today that Ted had passed. When attending Barrington College, I worked part time at the Music bldg for Ted. He was the best and loved life and the students. After all these many years, I saw him with his son at the Riverside restaurant and spoke with him to refresh his memory, not much refreshing necessary. Wish I would have had the chance to see him one more time. But I think I will. Thx Ted and family.
Joe, Jimmy & Debbie,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember your Dad well from Barrington College. We would often stop and chat in the Student Union and he always had a smile and a hello for me. My sincere condolences.

I will miss my Uncle Ted. I called him every Sunday evening. We both enjoyed our chats. I will miss our talks. I know you are resting I’m heaven with Aunt Margaret. We will be reunited someday, so see you later Uncle Ted. I will always love you.
RIP Mr Farley
You were the true meaning of a gentle man. I enjoyed our visits and conversations over the past 6 years. You will be missed. I’m so happy you had a splendid 90th birthday celebration. You were so deserving of it.
Mr. Farley was and will always be one of our favorite patients at Cardiovascular Institute. He was such a gentleman and always so kind to us when we called him. He will be very much missed.
Ted was a wonderful man. He always had a smile on his face and a story to share. It was my pleasure to have been able to care for him at his time at Anchor Bay. I have many wonderful memories of Ted and I can hope that your memories will bring you all comfort during this difficult time. Ted was an inspiration to all and he will always be a resident that I remeber for years to come.
