Not sure what to say?





Yes he will always be in my memory of working for PennDelco School District. He was an administrator, well respected and a great friend . I could tell many stories, but I always remember how happy he was if we could get lunch for $2.00. Right John?

Will always remember Ted. He was great to work with, always striving to do the best for the students, employees and school district. He had a dry sense of humor. Always had your back. It was an honor to work with him.

Dear Jennie
I just found out about Ted's passing when I was talking to Bob Geiger tonight. I just talked to him last year to tell him about Dave Geiger's death.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He was one of my favorite people.

Jeannie, I am so sorry to hear that Ted has passed. I have such great memories of him. He treated me so good while I worked at Penn Delco. He was a great person. It was always quite evident of how much he loved you and the boys.

Dear Jennie and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I still remember his smile from my days as a student and know how much mom valued him as a colleague and friend since beginning their Penn Delco careers together on the very same day many, many years ago.
