Dear family of Ted Jackson. This is Navy thanking Army for the unselfish sacrifice your wonderful ‘Ted’ and his family gave during his time in service. My father, Arnold Carl Ogren also served with the 104th Timberwolves during World War II. He left us in August 2010. We all owe a debt we can never repay to those men and women who gave so much that we have our precious freedoms. Thank you and God bless.
Dear Jackson Family we are so sorry for your loss. We are thinking and praying for all. God Bless.

I am saddened by Ted’s no longer being at our 4th Tuesday noon sessions. His perceptions about subjects were always insightful. A true renaissance man for the group. He will be missed, his family has our sympathy.
I was so sorry to read of Ted’s passing. Sue and Ted were friends of my late mother, Geraldine Elliott, and she and Ted performed together at Woodland Village as well. Hope they’re forming a new band somewhere …
I will turn home at last once more
Knowing that a true soldier’s rest
Once earned is sweet
His peace complete
Who gave until the last his best
Judy and family, please accept or depest sympathy. Our prayers are with you all.
My father, John Seifert, was a member of unit 414L. We are sorry for your loss
Ted and I worked together in what was then called Color Tech at Kodak Park in Bldg. 65 during the ’50s. He was particularly helpful to on a project I was pursuing in the mid ’50s by providing for me the necessary statistical analysis of the data I was gathering. I was not a statistician and without his help I would not have been able to complete the job. He was a pleasure to work with. I send you my heartfelt condolences on your loss,
Ted will be missed at Woodland Village.
