Does anyone know if there will be a way for those of us who cannot attend Ted's service in person to tune in?

Sincerely,

April

Thank you Jim Rechkemmer for finding this obituary. there's a bit more here
than the other one, so thought people would want to see it. I have pasted
the text below.
 
Theodore R. Hart
February 20, 1940 - January 28, 2022
Theodore R. "Ted" Hart, 81, of Mt. Pleasant, went to his heavenly home on
Friday, January 28, 2022, in Jacksonville, North Carolina where he was
visiting
one of his sons.
Ted was born in rural Mt. Pleasant, in a log cabin on a cold and snowy
winter night, on February 20, 1940, the son of Ronald and Bertha (Mills)
Hart. Ted
was born again and unashamed about his Savior Jesus Christ. His life verse
was Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me." 
Ted lived a full life even though he lost his sight at the age of 10. Not
being hindered by blindness, he achieved many things in life, retiring after
30 years from John Deere Tractor works as a machinist. He enjoyed many
activities like working on cars, bowling, scuba diving, hunting and fishing,
to
name a few. He was always blazing the trail for others that were blind or
visually impaired. He was very active in the Federation of the Blind and
held
the office of President of the Iowa Chapter several different times over the
years. Ted was thankful to the Lord for having two sons in full-time
ministry
and two grand-daughters who serve with their families as full-time
missionaries. 
Ted is survived by his former wife and mother of his children, Janet Wright,
his four beloved boys, Larry Hart and his wife Sue Anne, of Palm Bay,
Florida,
Jim Hart and his wife Holly, of Jacksonville, North Carolina, Tony Hart and
his wife Jenny, of Snowville, Virginia and Shawn Hart and his wife
Christina,
of Ottumwa, Iowa, 19 grandchildren and 37 great grandchildren, his brother,
Gary Hart and his sisters, Janet Young, Joan Millard, Berta Pearson, Ginger
Robertson and Cherry Hermanstorfer. 
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ronald and Bertha Hart and two
brothers, Gene Hart and Ronnie Hart. 
Funeral Services will be held on Friday, February 4, 2022, at 1 p.m. at the
First Baptist Church in Mt. Pleasant with his sons Pastor Jim Hart and
Pastor
Tony Hart officiating. Burial will be in the Oakland Mills Cemetery. Friends
may call after 2 p.m. on Thursday at the Murphy Funeral Home in Mt. Pleasant
where the family will be present from 5 to 8 p.m. that evening. The family
will also receive friends at the church from noon until service time on
Friday.
Memorials may be directed to the Federation of the Blind in his memory.
