By now, many of you have already heard that sadly, one of our SYHA family, Dr. Tedd Hamaker, passed on Monday, August 30th after a valiant battle with cancer. Tedd's son, Joe, played hockey for many years with SYHA. Tedd's younger son, Daniel, is playing at the Squirt level this season. Further information may be found in the obituary in the News-Leader. As recently expressed by Jim Wherley, "Tedd was always very supportive of the players and teams, and thoroughly enjoyed watching the kids on the ice. As a coach, Tedd was always a positive supporter whether winning of losing. Tedd's positive attitude and exuberance will be missed by all." We have been blessed to know Tedd and have him in our family all of these years. Tedd touched and enriched the lives of so many in our SYHA family. We will miss him greatly. Visitation is from 6:00 - 8:00 pm Thursday, September 2 at Mediacom Ice Park. Memorial service is at 2:00 pm Friday, September 3 at Christ Episcopal Church, 601 E. Walnut Street, with arrangements through Gorman-Scharpt Funeral Home. Please try to attend one or both, if possible, to show our respect, regard and support for Tedd and his family. Memorial contributions may be made to places that have special meaning to Tedd: Ozark Greenways, PO. Box 50733, Springfield, MO 65805; or the Moxie Cinema, c/o Community Foundation of the Ozarks, 425 E. Trafficway, Springfield, MO, 65806 |
