In loving memory of Ted G. Harwood,I met Ted Harwood in the summer of 1979 when I started dating his oldest son, John. I didnt really know him. He was just my boyfriends father. In the past six months, we shared many trips to oncology and many hours in chemo. During this time, this very private man talked openly about his life. He grew up in Detroit, Michigan, met his future bride, Beverley, while they were both patients at the same hospital, and for fifty years he was an aircraft mechanic. He was also an active member of the Midland Amateur Radio Club, and he was a Skywarn spotter for The National Weather Service. He had a great sense of humor, he loved to fish, enjoyed carpentry, and he liked to turn up the car stereo when we listened to the music of the Sixties. But more than anything, he just wanted a little more timeto spend with his family. My father-in-law lost his valiant battle to cancer March 19, 2013.Ted is survived by his wife of over fifty-years, Beverley; son John (wife Josephine), son Doug, and daughter Heather (husband Mike), sisters Janet (husband Jim), and Betty, eight grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and many nephews and nieces. Speaking on behalf of the Harwood Family, we are all truly touched by those of you who have prayed for, called, and visited Ted these past six months, and we sincerely thank those of you who are giving your heart-felt condolences, now.In honor of his wishes, there will not be a public memorial service.Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory of Midland. Online condolences can be made at: www.npwelch.com,

Ted Harwood was the foundation to the family he loved very much.Ted also enjoyed his summers at the farm of Jack & Pheobe Templeton in Dover Township.I enjoyed the company of Ted, we made many trips together -- one was to Toronto and to the CNE in which we bought very large white cowboy hats so that we could keep track of one another in the crowd.I had many good times during Ted's summer holidays at the farm.Ted will be greatly missed.Helen & Ron James.

We never had the honor to meet Ted, but he was a great man. To have such a wonderful family and amazing friends that he had, we truly missed out on the pleasure. You are in our hearts and prayers

Beverly,Doug and family. I met Ted 21 plus years ago in a hobby Ted enjoyed very much. He was a inspiration to me in this way. Ted is my friend a always will be and will be missed by all that knew him. My condolences go out to Teds family a may god bless you in your new journey. 73's Ted

To Beverly, Doug, and family: my most sincere condolences. Ted was a true gentleman and we will all miss his dry wit and his smile. We are richer for knowing him and have lost a very genuine friend. Vaya con Dios Ted.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I was saddened to learn of Ted's demise. I was not aware of his illness, however he has been in my thoughts frequently of late.My deepest sympathy to Beverly and the children.

So sorry to hear the passing of my Ted. I'll see him in heaven one day. So many great memories we spent together. I'll always picture him leaning over an air plain and working on it at the Detroit Air Port when I used to visit him there.

I haven't seen cousin Ted since I enlisted in the Navy in 1969. In my minds eye I see Ted and Beverly in their late 20's with three young children. My fondest memory was Ted at the Detroit City Airport taxing an airplane with me on the wing, pretty exciting for a young kid. I truly regret not seeing Ted, Beverly, and their youngins after getting out of the Navy. But I do find comfort in knowing that we will see him again because I know he was a Christian. I'll be praying for you Beverly that you will find comfort in knowing that too. You guys had a great dad.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
