Ted was so fortunate to have so many loving friends, family, co-workers, and caregivers who encouraged his independance especially when his cancer prevented him from returning to his job of 33 years. He had a dry wit, enjoyed the humor of a situation, spoke his mind (once he knew you), and never lost his appetite for life (or a good apple pie). He had tremendous courage, never gave in to feeling "why me", and never complained. He was a member of the Italo-American Bocce team, even travelling to ROME. Well at least it was out of state to NY. He was a townie, content to reside in Wellesley and not travel to other parts of the world, as he felt his world was complete here. He was an avid sports fan and a collector of baseball caps from around the world. His lawn was always immaculate and Peter, Jimmy, and Dean made sure it was in pristine condition whenever he returned from the hospital. When he suddenly became paralyzed, 19 of his friends came up with lumber for Mark and Murph to build the "Riverdance" staging for a ramp to allow him access to his garden and grill. Dean and Peter practiced tie downs so he could escape in his van to visit the Elks Club and lunch with his buddies. Although hundreds of miles of red tape prevented the arrival of his powerchair, he was looking forward to using the Great Wall of China metal ramp to toodle down to Roche Brothers and the Linden Store and worked diligently with Occupational Therapy to overcome balance issues and develop good upper body control for the day when his motorized cart would come. Ritchie, Bob and Wattie made adaptations to the home so he could continue to be independant. Franny supervised the arrival of tasty treats from his Bates School family and lined up drivers to his radiation treatments and people to assist with dressing changes when the visiting nurses were unavailable. He loved his caregiver Marthe, enjoyed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made by Maynor, shot the breeze with David, Ibrahim, and Sylvie. It was Frederick that accompanied him in his last ambulance ride and stayed by his side til Dean, Roger, Gail and I could get to the hospital the nite before he died. Amber, John, and Bella kept him involved in his work so he could return when he was feeling better and recuperate when he was neutropenic. He was generous with local charities and even supported a vets group in Florida when he met several officers who were friends of his sister and learned of their work. He also opened his doors to an animal rescue group and tolerated an ever increasing number of animal adoptions although he personally never owned a pet, he shared his home with 4 pets that took over his recliner, bed, and clicker. Altlhough never known for being a great student, he loved learning and was a history buff and Discovery Channel fan. He became a student of life and read voraciously forgetting that he had been told that he was a poor reader. He belonged to the Reliance Club, the Italo, and the Elks. He was a great cook and shared his talents at the clubs. When his parents became ill, he jumped in to help, was extremely patient, and smoothed the way for them. He was a great guy and I will miss torturing him as his older and wiser sister.

Teddy was a gentle, patient and kind man. We know Teddy from high school and our kids knew him as they attended Bates School. Our son worked for him 3 summers during high school at Bates and respected him so much that he wrote one of his college essays on the hardworking example Teddy set for him every day. He said that no matter what he did in life the lesson he learned from Teddy was to do the job to the best of his ability and take pride in the results. He will be missed!!

I recall first meeting Teddy (like most of us met each other) playing Pop Warner football at Hunnewell.
Teddy had a heart of gold. His intentions in life were to help others in any way he could. Teddy suffered no fools. If he thought you were full of it he told you. I loved that about him.
He was a good friend.

Teddy was a good friend - a simple man. He loved helping other people; he loved his work @ Bates School; he even loved his garden in his backyard; he loved life. And the people that had the opportunity to know Teddy - those people are the lucky ones. God bless you - you will be missed.
