Sorry for your loss, r.i.p and fly high with the angels
I graduated from CBHS with Ted, and remember him well. He was a good guy when I knew him and became a good man. His loss will be felt by many, including me.
My sympathy to all of the Haxel family. He was a great family man. I loved the QND years. Peace, Fr Chuck
Joe and Family – I am sorry for your loss – I wish you peace
We are so sad to hear this. Ted was such a lovely person. Please accept our deepest sympathy. It is so hard to say goodbye, but the next time you see him will be for eternity. God give you comfort.
Ted was a great cousin who was two years older than me. I remember playing with him lots at our family picnics. Rest in God’s love, Ted!
I’m sorry your loss
Praying for all of Ted’s family. May he rest in peace.
Mike, Vickey & your entire family our deepest sympathy to you all
