It is sad to read of Ted's passing last year. My deepest condolences to his wife Joan and family. I met Ted my first day of employment with Air Canada 52 years ago and will never forget his warm welcome to me at that time. "Hey Ted" as I affectionately called him over the years in any of our conversations still rings true in my mind to this day. Our world needs more men like Ted Waytowich! - Posted by: William Baron (Air Canada Colleague) on: Nov 15, 2019

I met Ted in 1999 and we worked together as starters at St. Charles. He made me feel at home in a new job and taught me a few tricks in golf. He was a lot of fun and I always enjoyed his company. Joan & family I am so sorry for your loss & I am sorry I missed the celebration of life. Ted was one of the good guys. - Posted by: Doug Anderson (Friend / Co worker) on: Dec 19, 2018

Ted and I were buddies for decades. We shared a lot of truly great times together....bowling trips to Fargo, the many, many fishing trips not only at Bird River but with the "Club", hunting at the "lodge" north of Holland, Mb. The list goes on and on. After God created Ted, he quit knowing he had made "one of a kind". Rest in peace my friend. There will always be a special place in my heart for you. Joan, Jim, Brenda and all family....our deepest condolences to all. May you take comfort knowing Ted truly enjoyed life and family - Posted by: Denis LeGros (Friend) on: Dec 15, 2018
