Ted S. Bala, Jr., 63, died Wednesday, July 15, 2009 in Savannah.
Mr. Bala was born in New Jersey on October 31, 1945. He was a veteran of the United States Army, serving during the Korean Conflict and retiring after seventeen years as Sergeant First Class. After his tenure in the military he came to Savannah where he started the Done Rite Auto Station which he owned and operated for eleven years. From that point and until his passing Ted was an independent truck driver.
Mr. Bala was preceded in death by his daughter, Laura Ann Bala. He is survived by his daughter, Theresa Ann Bala of Savannah; son, Ted S. Bala, III of Rincon; four grandchildren; one great grandchild and two sisters.
Memorial Service: 11:00 a.m. Tuesday at Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Hodgson Chapel. The family will be receiving friends one hour prior to the service.
Burial: 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Beaufort National Cemetery in Beaufort, SC.
I have pleasant memories of Ted from when he was 14 yrs old when I met him in the neighborhood in Hialeah, Florida. Knew his family: Diane, Lorraine, Georgie, and Suzie, as well as his parents, Ted and Fran. He had a rough family life; but, was always looking for something better. I am very sad that he did not escape his background. Both his son and daughter have my hearfelt sympathies and I am sure they will both miss him very much. May God bless them with peace in knowing that he is at peace.

I attended a military school with Ted in 1984. He was a character, better yet a good medic. I raise a toast..'To you Cisco, until that time, we will ride together again'. Lefty
