Ted C. Kriss

Dear Mary, TJ, Jennifer, Donnie, Tristan, and Pierce,

Not a day goes by without thinking about Ted and how much we miss our phone conversations with him. Our fond memories with Mary and Ted in the Keys and at our Michigan cottage will remain forever, and we smile thinking of all the happy times we had together. Ted was like a brother to us instead of a brother-in-law. He was a kind and loving man and had a soft gentle nature. Sharon's mother thought Ted was the "greatest" and...

Jennifer,Donnie,Pierce and Tristan,
I was so saddened to hear about your loss. I have never met Ted but I can tell he was very loved by all. I know all too well about the pain you are suffering from a recent death of a parent,but I am also learning that time and prayers heal the wounds. Have lots of faith in God because he will get you through this.
My heart goes out to your and your family,
Meri Martinez

Dear Mary, Jennifer&Family and TJ,

We were so sad to hear of Ted's recent passing. We visited with Ted up at the Lake in Michigan last summer and had such a great time with him! It is obvious he enjoyed life and being around others. Ted will surely be missed and always remembered. Our thoughts are with all of you!

Sincerely,
Jeff, Carolyn and Christopher DeGroote

Dear Jennifer& Donnie, Tristan and Pierce, and Mary....
We were all saddened by the loss of Ted. Although I only met him once or twice, it was easy to know that he was a kind and gentle soul. I am sorry for your loss and know all too well, the pain associated with the loss of such an important person in one's life. May his memories bring you peace, and his legacy bring you smiles.
Our love, Joanne, Roger and Skye

Dear Mary, Jennifer & Family, & TJ
As I read through the letters of tribute to Ted's Life, I found one common link -- the incredible way that he touched people with his kindness and love. Liz and I spent many Happy Times with both Ted and Mary in Miami, The Keyes, and in Michigan. Ted was truly a unique individual..large in physical stature, but yet so kind and gentle to all he met throughout his life. Knowing an individual like this makes it doubly hard to accept the fact that he is...

Dear Mary and Family

I was deeply sadden by the lost of your husband Ted. I never knew or met him, but I know that he was very special to you, very loving and very supportive. Your family and friends will be a great help in this time of sorrow. I wish you courage, strenght and health.

I am thinking about you, please stay stong.

Love,

Dear Mary,

I am so deeply saddened to hear of the world's loss of such a wonderful, sincere, kind and loving man. I am overjoyed, however, to read of his knowledge of our Lord and Savior, as this means our paths will cross again. The years that I worked with Ted at FPL in the Fuels area will always make me smile. Mary, he was truly a special person, and we will miss him dearly. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. God bless, and you are in my prayers.

Dear Mary and family,

We were deeply saddened by Ted's passing.

Ted was a wonderful family man always supportive in good times and bad. He loved Mary very much and they had a wonderful life together.

They were so kind to our mother, Mary Rizzo, always remembering her with cards, letters and beautiful gifts that she treasured so much.

Ted you touched our lives we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I enjoyed our...

Dear Mary, Jennifer, TJ, Donnie, Triston and Pierce: We were all saddened by Ted's death. I remember him as a gentle and sweet person who laughed easily and often. When I made my cross country bus trip in 1974 and stayed with MJ and Ted he was a great host and had a knack with the french toast sticks...a staple of 21 year olds. Then there was the illfated but interesting boat this. We will miss him. God Bless his soul. Gordon, Maureen, Ian and Shannon
