Memories & Candles


Ted; I thought you would always be here. You did so much to help me transform the community park system and community gardens of Jersey City since 1991. So often, you insisted on delivering the trees and plants yourself. I know it was more than the plants...you got pleasure from seeing your efforts uplift and transform a community. And you often donated many plants beyond what we purchased. In memory and inspiration, you will indeed always be here with us.

We are sorry to hear about Ted's passing. I was always happy to see him at coffee hour. St, Agnes had no better friend than Ted and it is so nice to pass the Nursery on the way home.

I am so sorry for your loss of Mr. Cox to the entire Cox family. He was the sweetest man I have ever met and worked for. I will never forget his loving smile and the jokes he would make. He always had a glimmer in his eye that I will never forget.
