I knew Ted quite well and enjoyed talking with him about sailing. He accompanied us to our customers on occasion and was eloquent, calm and effective. He was a gentleman and we will all miss him.

We had a good and very interesting childhood together. He was smart and achieved his goals. My condolences to all who will miss him.

He was a very nice person who truly appreciated his life and enjoyed his family. I pray for God to give you comfort during this difficult time. His presence in your lives will be richer because of him. An old childhood friend, Patti Ratcliffe Stone
