I just got home from trip and just read about Ted's passing, so very saddened for all of you. Ted was greatly liked and respected by my husband and myself. My husband, Al Higginbotham, and
Ted were both honored by SFD at the Christmas party together, both were very deserving of the tribute. It was wonderful to see
Ted's modest reaction that nite. Sorry, I missed Ted's Mass, my
prayers and thoughts are with him and the family. Kay H
