Condolences to Ted's family and loved ones. Ted was a Federal Gov't colleague in the early 80's and I greatly enjoyed his wit, humour and kindness. It was a pleasure to have known him.

Ted always seemed like one of us with his enthusiasm and good humour, and willingness to drive us rain or shine to the quilt meetings. A genuinely charming and observant person, Ted will be missed by all.
