I remember the brick house my Uncle Ted built with my Grandfather. I always enjoyed the family gatherings we had and the stories my dad and Uncle Ted would tell.
I especially remember the finely manicured lawn my Uncle Ted had and how I could take my shoes off and run through the green carpet. Uncle Ted was a man of many talents he had and green thumb, could build a house from scratch, ham radio, model airplanes....but most of all he had a love of family. We will all miss him.

I am so glad we made the trip to Arizona back in January to see 4/5 Zeblisky "kids". Spending time with Uncle Ted, and hearing about his WW2 stories and life growing up on the Zeblisky farm were beyond anything I could have ever hoped for in terms of how sick he was feeling even then. Saying goodbye isn't easy and as we gave hugs and kisses before we left, I couldn't help but feel like I was really saying goodbye to Uncle Ted for the last time. My heart goes out to the rest of the family, especially Aunt Sophie, Aunt Helen, Philip and Kathy, Terry, Uncle Rudy, Uncle Joe and Aunt Pat, Uncle Cliff and Aunt Harriet and Grandma Koenig. You will be missed Uncle Ted, thank you for the time you spent with me at Uncle Rudy's Birthday. I hope to be able to make it to the memorial service on LI this summer.

My condolences to Ted's family. Ted was into radios back in highschool. I hated that stuff, he loved it. Hopefully, we'll meet again, in the next world. (I really live on a boat in Mexico but address is Sad Diego.
