A kind and wonderful man who was so good to everyone. After more than 60 years of marriage, he and Millie loved each other as newlyweds. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Ted will remain in my heart always for his special sweetness and warmth and the joy of Jewish music that we could share. His memory is a blessing forever.
