I only saw Teddy ( sure he hated being called that♀) at company picnics or in the office. As an employee of Kelly services, Inc. I was so sad when I heard the news that he was one of the fallen in the September 11 attacks. I have lost a brother and now Sister throughout the years and we will never forget our loved ones. he was such a sweet young man who put up with an old lady( I was probably in my 20s at the time )asking him how was school and what he wanted to be when he grew up ... Trying to stay strong remember how they all lived and not how they died. God bless his family and all the other families of this terrible tragedy

Not a day goes by without thinking of you, though we never met. My grandmother was Helen Geraldine Kelly Grant; Russell's sister. You look a lot like your Dad from family pictures and I know you are the one in the love and glory of our heavenly Father. We, left here on earth, are the ones who live the pain of you and all others who left this earth on 9/11/2001. You represent them and those who died in the next 10 years from the post illnesses of the physical and mental health issues. I'll meet you one day, if God so wills our souls to do.

Dear Mary Beth, Terrence, and Elizabeth,
I just wanted to say that you are in my thoughts today and everyday I think of this great tragedy. All the years of taking care of the house in Harbor Springs, I never really got to know Ted myself but my Mom and Dad did and they spoke very highly of him. Mom would always talk about taking care of his apartment and what a great young man he was. May you find peace through the memories you will hold forever.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Adderly,
I was the Children's Miracle Network director at Vanderbilt when Ted was a student. I remember Ted's efforts, along with his Sigma Chi brothers, to help the sick and injured children served by Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. I remain so very sorry for your loss. Ted was a remarkable young man and I have remembered him throughout these 10 years and will for the rest of my life. He made a difference for children he never met. Please know my thoughts are with you and your family- always.

Ted was a fraternity brother of mine at Vanderbilt. He was one of the most loved members of the fraternity and rarely a month goes by when I don't think about his family's loss. I knew Ted for three years of college and he was always a ringleader of our fraternal debauchery. I was shocked when I heard that Ted was in the towers and I still can't believe that he is gone. Ted you will always be missed

I was a freshman in college at the University of Pittsburgh when the tragic events of 9/11 occurred. The school held a memorial service and everyone was given a flag with the name of a lost loved one on it. Mine was Terrence. Though I did not know him personally, I still feel connected to him ten years later, I hope if his family and friends read this one day they will take a small piece of happiness knowing he has impacted the life of someone he never knew.

Prior to this formation run we were handed names to place on our shirts in honor of each individual that passed on the day our country was attacked. I was very honored to place Terence's name on my shirt in remembrance of his life. Everyone we lost that day is greatly missed and we will cherish the lives they lived.
Always in my prayers!

Today I was part of the annual 9/11 Mustang Run in S. Florida. This year we had printed out cards of those lost that on that sad day to take with us on our trip. We would go up and choose who to take as our passengers. I was drawn to yours and it hit me real close to home. I'm 23 now and it just made me stop and think. You are all missed by all of us. And we will continue to honor the fallen every year. "We will never forget"

Ted
You were always a gentleman. You held doors for me, you pulled out chairs for me, you stood when I got up from the table, you would pull the car around... 7 years later, these are some of my memories of our times together. You were a man before your time. You also had a speakerphone in your car well before its time! I miss you old friend, as does my brother.
See you when I see you.
Love Always,

Ted was one of the most sincere, kind and genuine people I have ever met. If you look up the word model person and friend in the dictionary his picture should be there. He had a great heart and was truly a great person.
I went to boarding school school in Bloomfield Hills. I met Ted at school there. I grew up in a middle class family and going to school in the area was intimating to say the least. Even though Ted came from a very fortunate family, he always made me feel welcome and included. He was so down to earth. He never acted better then anyone else. We used to eat Domino's pizza at lunch all the time. I used to sneak out of school and walk over to his house.
The first homecoming I went to was with Ted. I still have a picture of him, his sister and I in my home out here in California. Even in my office, I have a picture of him. I think of him everyday.
I am very sad that Ted is not with us. He was one of my closest friends. I think of him often and hope he is in a good place. His family was so very nice to me. I appreciate all the nice memories I built with all of them.
Love Always,
Adrienne A Radakovic

I still remember the wonderful English party you hosted for me at the end of the school year and I still have Ted's entry in a book thet the 5th grade gave me. I shall be thinking of you tomorrow.

To Ted's family: I worked many years for Kelly Services and met Ted when he was a very young man. I was deeply saddened to learn that he was one of the 9/11 victims. That tragedy 5 years ago moved me deeply and I felt a strong call to service. I now work for the Department of Homeland Security. I hope in some small way that my daily efforts will prevent any other family from suffering the awful loss that you have suffered. May God bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand.

My heart goes out to you in your time of need; I remember dropping my mother off @ your home so she could baby-sit Terry Jr. when he was an infant/toddler. My prayers go out to Terry Senior so that he may recover quickly. Our oldest daughter Holly was @ the 9/11 memorial (she was a flight attendant) and flew that day and lost many friends. My very sincere sympathy.

Ted, I never met you, but feel I know you. I work for Kelly at HQ and was at HQ on 9/11. I lost both my parents when they were too young to go to heaven. I have a feeling I know sorta how your Mom, Dad, and Sister feel and how they miss you dearly. I believe we see our loved ones when the lord calls us to heaven. When the lord calls me home, I would like to shake your hand.

I did not know Ted, but I have made it my mission to read about every single person that was taken in the attack on America on 9/11/01. I am determined to know as much as I can about these people whom should never, ever be forgotten.
I have kept Ted's story in my heart...because I am a sister. The story about Ted's birthday gifts to his sister speaks volumes to me, and brings tears to my eyes.
I lost my one and only sibling, my brother, in December of 2002 when he was 27 years of age. He and I were very close, although he was not as "prompt" with his birthday/holiday reverences as Ted. For some reason, on the last of my birthdays that my brother and I would celebrate...he called to take me to dinner. When I arrived at his home, he actually had a gift there for me...wrapped and everything. It was a children's book collection that we had owned as little kids that had gotten lost or sold long ago. He had remembered me saying that I really wished that I knew where they had gone. The books were very old (lord knows how my mother came upon them); so he hunted down every volume for me and gave them to me for my birthday. I look at them all the time...and relish their "old book" smell and remember my mom reading us the stories in them. He was an antique dealer, specializing in paper and photo..so that "old book" smell will always remind me of him. Just as Ted's sister will cherish those birthday gifts and be reminded of her brother when looking at them...or feeling that cashmere; and knowing that her brother loved and thought of her while carefully choosing these items especially for her.
The bond of a brother and sister is one that is strong beyond belief...and often times, the world as a whole underestimates it. Ted Addrerly's story will always be with me, because I will forever think of his sister and her birthday gift...and I will KNOW full well that there is another out there that misses her precious and wonderful brother, as I do mine.
To Ted's family, please know that there are people all over who are strangers to you that are committed to making sure that your son lives on in memory and that his story and legacy are carried close by others- straight on through time.
