Not sure what to say?

I remember teaching Carly and Logan at Our Lady of Consolation. They were a joy to teach and I remember those days fondly. So sorry to here of their grandfather's passing.

My book about Ted. Ted and Bob VanGessel went to grade school to St Anthony's. Ted was a year older but old St Anthony's had two grades in one room.

Great picture of Ted. Met Ted about 10 years ago at the K of C Hall. He always greeted me with that infectious smile and called me by name. Ted was fun and interesting to be around. He was truly a GOOD MAN. Rip and God Bless the Kneibel Family.

My condolences to the family. I worked for Ted in the 70's. I really enjoyed my time there.

I remember Mr. Kneibel from many, many years ago when son Larry and I attended grade school at St Marys. Larry and I played sports together there and Mister was most always there cheering and coaching us on. Fond memories of those days gone by. Prayers for comfort and consolation to the entire family.

Our sincere condolences to Ted's family and friends. I don't know where and how to begin on how much we loved Ted (and Joan), our Florida parents, we called them. We had so many fun times with them. We will miss our phone calls. And our memories of Ted will live on in our hearts forever. Stephanie and Kenny Leonard
