Not sure what to say?

Can not believe Ted has been gone for 6 years. Seeing his photo again reminds me of the pleasant times I had with him as a student and friend. A very inspiring friend and teacher. Love and sympathy to the family. Jamie Farr

I have such fond memories of Mr. Szelagowski and your family as Lynnette and I traveled through the teenage years together. He was a wonderful man, you were blessed to have him for so many years. May your memories bring you comfort and peace.

Mr. Szelagowski was the principal at WHS when I attended there. He was a good and honest man, that had many obstacles to overcome in that time, dealing with much adversity. I always respected him and his values. Grateful to have known him. Prayers and condolences to his family.....Aggie (Bodway) Burtch, class of 1973

Good principal during a difficult time sociologically. Times they were a changing. Woodward High School was severely overcrowded and students attended school in shifts. Mr. Szelagowski handled it all. God Bless.

I attended Woodward I have the family in prayer. Psalms 65;2

I was twice as lucky as many others as Mr. Szelagowski was my Principal at Chase School, (I was his Student Assistant), we had a memory that will never be forgotten. I caught a beautiful snake going to school for show and tell, when I got there it turned out to be a copperhead. Mr S called the zoo and I held it until they came. He kept saying don't let it go Becky, I said I won't. Later he became Principal at WHS and I visited him many times. He definately was a impact on me and I loved him...

I remember Mr. Szelagowski well as he was the principal,when I was a Woodward student. My deep condolences to his family. he will be missed.

Was a great man, so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Teddy. You will be missed dearly.

Jamie Farr aka Jameel Farah 1952 Woodward Graduate. I am just heart sick over the news that Ted has passed away. He was one of my favorite high school teachers and football coach. I have fond memories of my years in school with Ted as our Lightweight and Varsity football coach. He became a dear friend after I graduated and saw him on numerous occasions when I returned to Toledo for our LPGA tournament. My sympathy and love to Mr. Szelagowski's family. Jamie Farr
