I am so sorry to hear Ted has pasted. I will never forget him with his unforgettable laugh. He was quick tempered, but that was rare. Always had a smile and he will always be the one that EVERYONE was invious over his lunches. I have NEVER seen anyone with better homemade lunches as his. Good for your mom.

Relation: Through work, through social engagement
Hard to imagine that Ted could have packed more into his life.
A real character….would not be politically correct nowadays.
Ted & Bob & I had lots of laughs and shared frustrations.
Another piece of me “gone”.
I liked him a lot !!
