My siblings and I were at a family get together over the weekend and chatting about what a wonderful teacher and coach Mr. Toogood was at ECI. I was fortunate enough to have had him as both a football and soccer coach and he taught me many important lessons about the right way to conduct yourself as both an athlete and coach. Mr. Toogood, you touched many lives in such a positive fashion. Rest in peace.

Hi Ted.. and goodbye Ted.. gameover
For 25 years we worked together through the decades of revolution.. science, equality and technology.
Separate equipment rooms, offices, male dominated gym schedules were the accepted ways.
Names like Ron Armstrong who power led Rams basketball teams just like Ted and Vern who powered many ECI Ram victories fill my mind with memories of how much fun it was to have Ted as a mentor..
It was a great bunch of staff in those years from 62-87.. Jack, Lou, Brian.. the girls Judy, Pat and Sue..
So many connections..Sharon, Shirley supplying, coaching and being a part of their dad's school.
I loved Ted's gentleness and ability to relax and avoid confrontation or conflict. His blue eyed twinkle resolved many differences.
To Joan and family.. he was a great guy to me and I feel the sadness at your and my having to say a final goodbye.
Sincerely and fondly

Thank You Mr. Toogood. Your enthusiasm for teaching and coaching made every moment in your company joyful. You made ECI a better place. Your humility in the face of all your accomplishments was as rare as your character.
My thoughts are with your family at this time.
Take Care my friend.
Love,

What a very fine man. As an athlete who worked under Ted at Burnhamthorpe, I always revered him and wondered how we came to be so lucky to have him as a coach. He never talked about his incredible accomplishments..word of mouth was how we knew he was such an incredible man and athlete. As a coach he was a quiet leader who made us all try to achieve our best....somehow just to prove we were worthy of his approval. One of those people you meet in a lifetime who made a major impact on our lives...but never knew it. I'm sad to hear of his leaving us...and sadder still I didn't tell him what a major influence he was. But of course you didn't say those things way back then. May his family reflect on the life he led and the influence he had on so many of us.
