He was born on February 7, 1935 in Colorado City, Texas to Theodore Burdell, Sr. and Gladys Black. On his final day, he was surrounded by his wife, children, and grandchildren who he adored more than anything else in the world. Ted was loved by many and will be sorely missed. He worked hard his whole life. He spent 61 years in the oilfield. He and his wife Virginia just celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary on August 21st. She was the love of his life. The second love of his life was his grandchildren. He enjoyed fishing and feeding the birds and squirrels. And when he wasn’t doing those things you would find him piddling around the yard fixing something. Ted never met a stranger and would give the shirt off his back to help anyone. He loved to tell old stories of working on the rig where he made countless friends. To Dad: We will always remember that special smile, that caring heart, that warm embrace you always gave us, you being there for mom and us through good times and bad no matter what. We’ll always remember you because they’ll never be another one to replace you in our hearts and the love we will always have for you.
