There will never be another Uncle Teddy...He "broke the mold" so to speak. I wouldn't want it any other way. I want to remember him for the great man he is and always will be. For someone who was confused as being "weak", he was the strongest of all. He kept true to his values till the end and that's what is most important. I will always remember his smile and laugh along with his ability to be funny even when he may of thought it wasn't funny...HEE HEE! I miss him already. I'm honored to be his Godson...

He's truly at peace now.
