EDWARD (TEDDY) WELSH It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Edward (Teddy) Welsh on Tuesday October 7, 2014, at the Arborg & District Hospital, Arborg, Manitoba. Ted was born in Eriksdale, Manitoba on February 28, 1941. He lived in Chatfield, Manitoba with his family, and went to Suffrin School. He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years Annette, his sisters Cecile, Yvonne, Agnes, Theresa, and Rita. Many in-laws as well as numerous beloved nieces and nephews that were the light of his life. His nieces and nephews each held their own special place in his heart and they were all very important to him. Teddy was predeceased by his parents, his three brothers and two of his sisters, and numerous in-laws on both sides of the family. Teddy married his wife Annette on October 10, 1970. They lived in Winnipeg before moving to Castlegar, BC where they stayed for two years. They moved back to Winnipeg in 1975 and Teddy began to work for Manitoba Telephone Systems until he retired in 1996. Previously Ted worked for Canadian Comstock for 18 years. He retired with his wife Annette in Poplarfield where they lived for the past nine years. Ted enjoyed hunting during the fall months with several of his nephews. There they shared many stories and had a lot of good laughs together, today his nephews can still recall many of the good times that they had while hunting. Ted liked to go fishing in the summer months with his nephews as well. He enjoyed living in the country where he would spend a lot of time outside doing odd jobs around his yard. When living in Winnipeg Ted liked volunteering at various Metis events where he would be seen making his special Moose Milk recipe that he would not reveal to anyone. You could always count on Ted for being at the Metis night helping out at the bar.
