Sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers for the family at this time
I always thought so highly of Ted Crady. His sweet and gentle manner were always a pleasure to be around. Family gatherings were so much fun and hearing all the music that he played and with others, was always a highlight. My prayers and sympathy go out to the family. Our lives were certainly blessed by his presence. Rosalea (Vernell Randel and Max Hagerman’s sister)
