Ted Eickerman 2/2/1919-9/20/2009

My father, Ted Eickerman, passed away Sunday evening. He was 90 years old and a good father. He was one of those who came from "The Greatest Generation." He grew up in The Depression, was in WWII, subsequently owned his own business for a while, then worked until his retirement from Sturgeon and Beck (a car dealer) as a Body Shop man and later as Body Shop manager for many years. After being retired for a year he went back to work restoring antique tractors part time for the owner of Soults Pump & Equipment in Tulare until he retired a second time at the age of 79. Dad developed Vascular Parkinsons disease in his later years and it wore away at him and eventually left him unable to walk or take care of himself.

We miss you Dad.
