Ted Solarz was a person you knew who embodied the term “salt of the earth”. A husband and father, who tirelessly worked to provide for his family. His dedication to his local church where he served as an usher for years, demonstrates his strong belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Let those words be of comfort to Rita, Jerry and all of the family members who mourn his loss. Ted was a person whom anyone would of been proud to call a friend. God Bless Ted Solarz and may he now rest in peace.
My sincerest sympathies in this time of deep grief. May you find comfort with those around you, the photos and memories~
Greg, my thoughts and prayers to you and your family. So sorry to hear of your Father’s passing. Take care.
