Janice, I am so sorry! I have such fond memories of spending time with you and Ted. What a blessing you both were to Terry and me. May God bless and comfort you as you walk through this time of loss and grief.
Ted was a wonderful person, always so friendly. We will miss him terribly and count ourselves lucky we got to know him.
So very sorry to hear of the passing of a friend and fellow Jaycee. We worked together on several community-based projects. I first met Ted in the early sixes and we have been friends ever since. I will miss him.

So very sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed Ted’s smile and laughter when I would walk over to say hi with the kiddos. I am thinking of you.
Janice and family – Thinking of you and knowing you will lean on your faith to carry you through. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, but recalling many sweet memories enjoying time with you all.
Janice and Family:
So very sorry for your loss. I know you will miss Ted greatly.
I am sorry that it has been sometime since I have seen the two of you out and about in Lawrence. I will always remember Ted’s smile and pleasant greetings when our paths did cross.
There was never a better upholsterer in this town as far as I am concerned. I
have many items in my home to attest to that! His skills are very evident in my living and dining rooms ! Many pieces of furniture that are still in perfect shape after leaving his workshop many years ago!
Thank you both for being very good neighbors of ours on 18th Terrace!
My thoughts are with you and yours.
So sorry to hear of Teds passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Janice. Heavens gain! Rick and Diane Falley, and Linda Teichmann
Janice and Family- I am lost for words and very sad to hear of this news. You and Ted helped me raise my kids. You both were the best child care givers any parent could hope for. Ted was a very caring person and each child in the day care he treated as his own. He will be missed.

Shelly and family, my deepest sympathy on your loss.
Janice Sorry about Ted’s passing. You are in my prayers and thoughts. I know that you are good people. Dad Russell spoke highly of you both.
I will miss seeing Ted at the Lawrence Optometric Center! He was always a pleasant person and his skill at reupholstering our office chairs was spectacular!
Take care Janice.
My sincere condolences to Mrs. Luber (Janice) and the family and for peace and strength during this difficult time in the coming days. I’ve known the Luber’s since a young boy in Lawrence when they lived directly behind us (across the alley) on Kentucky Street in Lawrence, KS. I occasionally had the opportunity to see Ted over the years when my dad cut his hair or through upholstery (my dad helped Ted learn the trade). Mr. Luber was a kind and generous man. I wish I had been aware of his passing in time to attend his visitation but unfortunately was not. Take care and God bless.
Jeff so sorry to hear about your father’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your time of sorrow.
Janice, we are sad to see the lost of Ted. You are in our thoughts and. Prayers!
Janice, Jeff and Shelly,
I am so sorry to hear of Ted’s (your dad’s) passing…the memories all came back when Becky saw this as she was searching for our Uncle’s (mother’s brother) obituary ,and forwarded this to all of us Ledom children. For I certainly would of come, to pay my respects to all of you. You all were such a big part of our lives growing up on Kentucky St, and Tennessee St. all those years.
Such wonderful memories of playing with Shelly, looking at Jeff’s drawings that I was always amazed by, talking to you Janice in your kitchen, you taught me a lot, you had a love for your dogs (I remember Peaches), and going in Ted’s store on Mass. and looking at all the things I wanted, there was so much to look at! lol
Mr. Luber was a kind, funny, and generous man…accept my sincere condolences to you all…may God’s peace be with you at this difficult time.
You are in my thoughts and prayers,
Much Love, Teresa Ledom Reddick
Thank you Ted for the stand you always took in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Ted you never compromised the Word regardless of who you were with or where you were. Ted, you were a faithful servant in everything you would say and do. Words are fleeting but actions eternal. Your actions were the fruit you bore to all around you.
Ted, you are now immortal in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and now can look face to face in Him. How wonderful it is for everyone that loved you to know this. For in the end all that will ever account is Faith in Jesus Christ. Welcome home my good and faithful servant, welcome home my son and brother says the Father to the Son.
With deepest love for my brother Luber in Christ Jesus. Donnie Clancy
