Aunt Betty: Uncle Ted was a character...his humor, jokes, smile, laughter and hugs will always be with me. I loved those blond joke emails. I wished I lived closer Aunt Betty...My love and prayers are with you and the family during this very very difficult time. May God continue to give you strength and peace.

We've been missing Ted and you, Betty, at our Sojourner meetings. I remember one time when Ted forgot his medal and drew one on a napkin. God bless you both. Tom Craig

Ted was an inspiration of honesty and integrity to all who knew him. He helped so many others in the lodge, and will definitely be missed.

Please accept my deepest sympathy over your loss. Brother Ted was one of the first people I met in the Fraternity, and ironically participated in my first Masonic graveside service. He was sitting Master when I became elected. I will always remember Ted for his quiet manner, quick wit, willingness to assist others in need, and, above all, diplomacy. I learned a great deal from Brother Ted and will miss him deeply.
