My family and I are very sorry for your loss. Ted was a dear friend of my father and he helped my father in many ways. I remember his sharp sense of humor and big prsonnality. He will be missed! In God's Love.

To the entire Spath Family,

On behalf of the Fraser Family, we wish to share our condolences to your family. My dad and my mom had an extraordinary relationship with Ted. They cherished one another's relationship and friendship to the highest level. Ted was often over at our house sharing laughs and good times. I know that they are now together again, sharing laughs.

The "Wonderful' Spath Family reunions were well organized and were the foundation of tremendous times and relationships.

I will never forget the time that Ted drove me, at a very young age, from Utica to visit the McCabe family in Pittsford, NY. I told Ted that I'd pay for the gas for his nifty little sport car and by golly he held me to that offer! Our ride was filled with laughter!

Last night, I had the privilege to witness one of the most incredible sunsets I have ever seen. I couldn't help but to think of Ted and that just maybe this beautiful sunset was happening because of him.

Many of us wished we could have made the trip to pay our respects to Ted and to see you all.

Please stand tall and stand Proud. Ted was a wonderful person. We are all deeply sorry for your loss.
