Edward R. 'Ted' Blake, Jr. – On the beautiful, Sunday morning of June 1, 2008, the angels of the Lord came to Ted with wings from heaven and flew him Home. After a lengthy hospitalization, Ted was admitted to the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home where he was allowed to meet his Creator in peace, comfort and dignity with his family
at his side. Ted was born on October 8, 1932 in Wilmington, NC to Ed and Mary Blake.
