Robert Tedhams


I lost a friend this afternoon to luekemia. He had been fighting it since Feb. His name was Robert Tedhams. I knew him about 30 years and was a fellow installer and we worked next to one another at the retailor I retired out of. He was their commercial installation mgr. It has been a real tough battle for him since Feb. mentally, phyiscally, and financially as he had no insurance due to being laid off even though the premiums were paid by the store. I was told he went into debt a few hundred thousand because of it. He leaves his wife and grown children. He was 63.
Rest in peace Bob!!

Thanks for sharing Daris. My dad died of the same thing. May God's blessings give you and his family comfort as only he can. RIP Robert

There, but for the grace of God go I.

Sorry to learn of your loss and thank you for sharing. It is a solemn reminder of the wondrous blessing of life that we squander away. For Bob, even though we never met, I'm going to log out, find my beautiful bride, kiss her on the mouth and try to tell her how much I love her! While I still can!

Hi Daris, sorry for your loss, this January will be 3 years with-out POP
(my Dad) who also battled and lost to Leukemia. I will think of Robert tonight and meditate on the blessing of life.

Re: Robert Tedhams


Adding my condolences as well. Too young to go and an illness like that is devastating to all who were around.

Regarding his debt, has anyone contacted the flooring industry fund through WFCA? Don't know if they can help but certainly worth looking into. This type scenario is what the fund was created for.
