You are greatly missed. New Jersey is but a memory right now, so are you. But you affected me in many ways teaching me to love nature and adventure seeking the beauty of cross-country travel and the wonders of National Parks. Thank you for instilling the love of aesthetics in landscaping and architecture. For giving me and Jess the chance for a good education. Remembrance is not a sentimental thing; you exist in the eternal memory which will be made present in the resurrection of the body. I will see you then, I pray.

Thank you for all who signed this guestbook and who continue to pray for the family and remember my Dad. I miss him greatly.
I miss his laugh and sense of humor as many do. I miss his presence and regret that I will not be able to discuss many things with him--share my life with him.
Thank you to all who showed their support and honored my Dad.

I will never forget all the really fun times Ted and I had while working at Schoor. He was a great friend and a super fellow to work with. You could always count on Ted for a good laugh. My prayers and thoughts are with Crys and family. He fought a very long, brave fight and was always in the best of spirits even when he felt his worst. He was a great inspiration to all of us. Ted will be missed by many but never forgotten. He was a true friend and we'll all have stories to tell for decades. It is with a sad heart that I sign this guest book but a happy heart of fond rememberances.
