Not sure what to say?

Ted, I still remember you that first day in Hamilton unpacking your sweaters into the cupboard - your room was at the top of the staircase. That is the image I retain of you to this day........I only learned of your leaving us today, I wanted to say something since I have not seen you for many years - but simply say I was pleased to meet you and glad to have known you.

Ted, Your funeral, like your life, was magnificent. Kathleen, Tom, and Michael gave heartwarming and loving eulogies that equaled the amazing eulogies that you gave for our Mom and Dad. The music soared up to Heaven, lifted by the beautiful St. Peter´s organ and even more beautiful vocalist´s voice. The entire parish and city turned out for you, and people from all over the country came in to tell your amazing wife and sons all that you meant to them and to the world. In a very hot summer,...

Dear Kathleen, Michael, Tom and the entire extended Hoff and O'Connell families, I am so sorry for your loss. I babysat for "Teddy" and his siblings when the Hoff's lived in Westchester, IL. His mom and mine were high school classmates at Providence HS and they worked together doing publicity for Divine Infant Parish and IHM High School. Clare McDermott O'Connor (who also lived in Westchester, IL ), a colleague at BC arranged a serendipitous reunion at the Grafton St. restaurant about six...

I knew Ted from Divine Infant Graded School in Westchester IL. Our mother's were classmates at Providence High School and life long friends My deepest sympathy the the Hoff family

We were fortunate to spend many of our Thanksgiving and Christmastimes with Uncle Ted, Aunt Kathleen, Tommy, and Michael. Uncle Ted and Aunt Kathleen showered us with love and support, eager to dive into our latest life happenings. It was fun, joyful, and deeply enriching, and the evenings left us feeling elevated in all respects. How lucky we were to call that our holiday season. We will miss Uncle Ted terribly but will carry forward the impact he's had on us. Love - Megan, Todd, Laura and...

Ted and I were close work partners for our years together at IBM. He was a cherished colleague and good friend. He lived a life full of caring and integrity and stood out for those qualities as an IBM executive. I have many memories of sharing stories and laughing together, co-hosting IBM picnics for our departments, and doing our best to make IBM an organization that produced great leaders at all levels of the organization. I will miss his warmth, his generosity, and his friendship

In loving memory of a wonderful person. Sending much love.

I had the immense privilege of knowing Ted Hoff very well for almost 52 years, as his brother-in-law. I am married to Ted´s oldest sister, Mary Eileen. Ted was the supreme family man - first and foremost unlimitedly supportive of his own immediate family in Cambridge but also of his large extended family all over the United States and Ireland - siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Every gathering, he extended genuinely complimentary individual interest & support to each...
