He and his wife, Lila, later moved to Spring Valley, NY where they had an idyllic life raising their 3 daughters. He had been a resident of Jacksonville since 1965, where he lived until April of this year. A child of the depression, our dad never finished high school, but was a very successful businessman/salesman. Everybody loved Teddy and Teddy loved everyone. He especially loved his family. A father never loved his children more than our dad loved us. We always said, He was the best father a girl could have.

He was an active member of the JCA, still playing racquet ball until the age of 86, as well as attending Yiddish classes.

A Graveside Service will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday, September 1st in Temple Cemetery located in Evergreen Cemetery (Temple Gate on Winona Road) with Rabbi Michael Matuson as Officiant. The family would like to thank Clare Bridge Ormond, Vitas Hospice and especially Clare Bridge Jacksonville, for all their excellent care, love and support given to us and our dad over the past 2 and a half years.
