Kay, Cody & Sam, So sad to learn of Ted's demise. I worked with Ted for 15 yr. +/. He was always a lot of fun and had such a cheerful disposition. Took countless breaks and lunch hours will Ted, playing hearts and heard about some of his Vietnam experiences. He had a great sense of humor, a special person that left a glowing imprint on our lives. I remember going up tp the cottage and helping him during the construction phase, party on the beach and later renting the cottage for my family's vacation. He certainly deserved a better retirement and ending. So many of us will miss him. Just the mention of his name always puts a smile on my face. - Jim Herrmann

I have fond memories of Ted as one of the gang at Pat & Pearl's, in Baldwin. Summers spent with the gang at the lake were very special. I am so very sorry for your loss.

I was sorry to see your loss. I don't know how many times I saw Ted after graduation but I always considered him a friend in a classmate way. We shared a four year experience at Rogers and Ted was part of the good memories. May your families' memories always be good and bring you peace.
