Uncle Ted, I will always remember your quick witted humor, how you loved to drive Debbie crazy with it and stories of adventure. Our dressing up and tubing on the Salmon River and the fun had prepping and being in the 4 th of July parade. I will miss the smile your big heart and love of family. Trips to the New York State Fair or even home to New York will never be the same. Thank you for for being you!
Dear Debby and Family:
Please accept our most heartfelt and sincere condolences in the loss of Ted. He was a great person and always a very positive presence regardless of the situation. I was fortunate to have known Ted and to have worked with him during our time at Miller Brewing Company. We used to joke about his long standing family tradition for keeping in close contact through their “last touched” tag game with each other. He will be greatly missed by everyone and I’m saddened to hear of his premature passing. May Ted rest in peace…
Dear Debbie, John and family,
I was saddened to learn of Ted’s passing. I will remember him from the years on the sidelines while our’boys’ played soccer, as a referee at games, and his cheery greeting at the high school concession stand. He will be missed by many and I hope you know of my great fondness for you all.
The world is less bright without Teddy in it. I’ve known you since I was born. Deb & John, you are blessed to have such beautiful memories of a wonderful man. Hold those memories tight. To Judy, Mike & Dolores, I know losing a sibling is horrible. Remember all the joys.
Teddy, I know you’re with Helen and Lewis. I know my Mom was waiting with a cake. Give everyone a kiss and hug from me. You better save me a Polka. ❤
