Unless I am mistaken, Ted Kaliveas commanded my basic training company E-8-2 while I trained at Fort Jackson, SC, from January through June 1971. I remember he was cocky and fun with us trainees and did not disdain talking with us 1 to 1. About all I really remember of him is how he looked and his Greek name, but those have stayed with me for 50 years and counting. RIP, LTC Kaliveas.

Carole & Family,

This is a true loss to everyone who knew Ted. We had great respect and admiration for his ability to put life into perspective. One of his most endearing qualities was how he took all of us under his wing and guided us with humor and respect. We will miss him more than you will ever know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Carole; we were so sorry to hear of your loss. Ted was a great guy and a true Greek. We will all miss him and his unique personality. I will remember him best from work and for introducing me to "Yanni". Your family will be in our prayers.

To Demon, Jason and Chris -

Don't imagine you still remember me or the boys (Eric and Brig) but we were all together in Thousand Oaks YEARS ago. I saw your dad's obituary in today's POST and just wanted to send my condolences to you and to your family. All of you will be in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,

Pam Owen
