I am late with my sympathy in the loss of Ted but would like for his son and wife Karen to know that my prayers are with the family. Ted and Mary were great friends and especially to my mother Ruth Harr for years. I am not able to travel so would not have been able to be at the service but just found out of his passing. My husband Charles passed in Jan 2022 and we spent a few weekends with them while visiting in Joliet. What a great and wonderful couple, they are together again so peace will be with both of them. God Bless and prayers for family. Annabelle Smith, Richmond, Indiana.

Mr Russell was like a 2nd father to me. I was blessed to have known such a loving and caring person (family). Ted and Mary were a part of my life from the time I moved to Shorewood. Peace and Blessings

He was my grandma Ledford's neighbor for so long. He got to watch my mom, my aunt and uncle grow up and then got to see all of us kids grow up. I always remember his dogs always being out in the backyard running up and down the fence line. He was definitely someone you could go to. I had moved to Indiana back in 2000. My oldest daughter was born in June of 2002. Around 2005 or 2006, we came to visit Illinois to see my mom and I wanted to show my wife at the time where I grew up and we had happened to stop by Mr. Russell’s house. I got to introduce my daughter to him and he told all the stories he could to my daughter and wife. I will always remember him for his smile and unconditional love for everyone. He was always there when you needed him. He was the best neighbor ever. Rest in peace Mr. Russell.
