I just found out about Ted last night, I am so sorry I couldn't be there today. I loved my cousin very much, he was a wonderful, funny, intelligent man. My brother and I had great times growing up with him. Ted was one of the funniest people I've known, in his what some might consider "odd" sense of humor, he was the best. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Ted was not only a great man, he was one of the best. He was like a second father from the day I was born. Such a great friend to my dad, who will miss him dearly. I want to thank him for the power, hope, and change he has done for me, and I'm sure many others. We love you Uncle ted.

Ted was my oldest and closest friend. I met him when I was 13 when we were trying to enter Civil Air Patrol the same night and had the distinct pleasure of having known him for 45 years. He will be sorely missed but I praise God that I will see him again in glory. My sympathies go out to the rest of his friends and his family.

There are no words to describe the feelings that we have or how lucky that we were to have known Ted even for a short time...He brightened our lives and showed our whole family love and warmth right from the start. We will miss his smile and warmth also, but know that he will live in our hearts forever. Our prayers are with his family and very close friends as you all deal with this horrible loss. Please find peace in the thought that Ted is now at peace with no pain.
