Not sure what to say?

When Ted ran against Senator Hatch in 1982 I was serving as Chief of Staff for Orrin. Because Orrin was in Washington most of the time, I was asked to represent hm. That involved speaking at events with Ted.
I found Ted to be an excellent candidate and really a good guy.
After the campaign we remained friends and often went jogging together.

I will always remember Ted when he would visit Sundance. He was taking off one day on one of Bob Redford's horses, looking like the ultimate cowboy. Good memory. Best to Holly, Jenny, Missy and family. A good man.

Mr. Wilson was my high school history teacher and ski club coach at Skyline High in the early 70's. He was a mentor and a friend to many of us in those early days. Thank you Mr. Wilson for your guidance, example, and for showing us how to treat others. Hopefully those old DaleBoots are still handy and you can find the time to turn and burn on your new home mountain! Sincerely and with utmost respect, Tracy Tregeagle

Wow! What a life well lived. He was a treasure to all! Please rest in peace, sir.

I first met Ted as a young man as I was incharge ot Salt Lake county Sherffs Search and rescue and recruited him and the Alpen Bock Climbing Club, numerous rescues. Later years long associations of politics and other services. Not room to describe what a fantastic man, my friend, Ted. Condolences to his family. God Bless.

Mayor Ted was a good man. I had the opportunity to work with him a few times and his kind demeanor never changed. He was a pleasure to be around. May his memory be eternal.
