Loved and missed by his neighbors.
Got off the booze completely, absolutely blooming now in the new spring time…taken too early.
He never got to see the grandkids… we were going to do that this summer.
He got control of his life and turned it to happiness and it was beautiful to see.
He originally turned to alcohol because they tested for cannabis, and he would never put his job at risk.
Absolutely careful driver all his life, never a single ticket until about a year ago.
A good and loving human being, a good citizen, a good neighbor, a good brother,

Ted is survived by sons Geoffrey Ream and Brian Ream, and by his brother Charles Ream.
