To Mookie especially but to all O'Neil family, I am truely sorry for your loss. Ted was such agood friend to me all throughout high school and for my Bay Queen years. I have many found memories of him. He is a kind, funny, caring soul. I wish him and your family peace.I still think of him when I hear "Love shack!" High school was such a tough time for me and he was there when I needed a friend. I am so sorry he didn't get to meet my son Daniel.

Tedd was my best friend through grade school and junior high/high school and I always hoped I would see him again someday. Even though we were the same age, he was like my "older" brother who took it upon himself to shield me from the ills of the world while at the same time helping me assert my independence. I am in complete shock at his passing and I extend my very deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Please contact me if anything is needed.

I've spent days trying to find the words to tell your family how much you (Tedd) mean to me.

I'm rolling through my roladex of memories each one a bit more silly and hilarious than the one before.

Tedd, no words tell the world all that you are and all the lives you touched. I wish we could have connected again since high school.



To the O'Neil Family,

Try to hold all the zanny memories of Tedd close to you to help you through this difficult period. Please notify me when the local memorial will be held.



Tedd, I will always cherish our friendship. Until we meet again..

He was such a funny, sweet, creative, and great guy. It's too hard to believe he's gone...he was just so full of life. My sympathies go out to all his family and friends

Mark and I are soo sorry to learn of this devastating news. I, (Sue) unfortunately did not get to know Tedd very well but, I do remember spending a family Christmas party with him about 15+ years ago and I still laugh about stuff he said and did. He was a genuinely funny person with a heart of gold. I have never(since then) seen a car washing kit without thinking of Tedd. He will be missed. Tedd was a great friend to my sister Michelle/Peach in order of identities and my fifth child Janet Miniati..We appreciated his warmth and compassion ...just wish all of our kids could have met him...

.Tedd you are missed

..PEACE...mark, sue,mike, dan, pat , em, sam, carl

Ted, or Theo when we were being sassy, brightened every day I shared with him. Sad to think the world is short one wonderful human, but I'm sure the heavens are rolling with laughter and love.

Some of the best times I have had as an adult have been in the company of Tedd. He opened his home (the House of Love) to me many times when I visited him in San Francisco. I have the best memories of those fun days and lots of pictures to remind me how beautiful he was. I had one picture of him and our friend Amy D. taped to my toilet for a year!!! :)



I am so sad that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to him. He was a special friend to me and I will miss him more than words can say.



Please keep me informed of any services that may happen in RI.
