Jerry, Ted, & Rob

I have wonderful, warm memories of Ted. Our numerous rounds of golf, his stories, his laugh, and most of all his pride in all of you. He will be missed ! My prayers are with you.

To Jerry, Ted and Rob,
I worked for Ted in the early days and in the not so early days. I last saw him for lunch in Warwick a few years ago. I will always remember fondly Ted's maverick ways. He was a great guy to work for and gave lots of us medical insurance folks the start we needed. I know Ted took a personal pride in introducing me to my husband Keith. Rob - I remember you doing an impersonation of your father when you were 14 at your house in North Kingstown. I don't think I can write the actual words here -- but very funny. Jerry, Ted was so proud of your golf prowess later in life - he told me you were carrying him. And Ted -- your father always bragged about your football and financial credentials. I am so sorry for your loss!
Warmly - Pam MacWhorter

Jerry Ted and Rob,
I drove by your grandmothers house on Saturday at 9:50 and Saw Toby Sonders. He told me of the very sad news about Ted! I loved that man and his entire family- sisters, kids, and wife! You have a lot to be proud of! He really was a good story teller and one would always leave with a smile on their face!
He fought a good and brave battle with cancer and am sure he is partying up in heaven! He was one of my favorite customers of all time!

Dear Perry Family,
My deepest sympathies are with you at this time of loss. I have such great memories of Coach Perry from our days playing with the NK Mavericks. We had such an exhilirating run that season when we took the state championship from Edgewood. He was a great coach whose kindness and encouragement of me as a young athlete have made a lasting impression on my life. Please know that my family will keep yours in our prayers. God bless.

Geri and boys:

Ted was a great man, who I knew through my days as a Pop Warner cheerleader (seems like ions ago). He always had a smile and great laugh. You are all in my thoughts today.
