Thadeus Joseph Baranski Ii

I had the pleasure of spending over two years with TJ in the Marine corps, both overseas and at Camp Pendleton. You have my condolences. Ted was one of a kind. I have my album to remember him by. I miss his early Christmas card

Ted,
All of us who are fellow friends of Bill W. agree that you lived your life as though someone else was watching. You set an example for the rest of us to emulate. You certainly didn’t mind giving of your time, resources, and wit in the time I had with you. And you welcomed me back with open arms when I came back home after fighting cancer.

As it turns out, someone WAS watching, that one was God and He’s taken you back. Although we miss you and your humor now, we’ll meet...

Uncle Teddly Bear, you will be greatly missed. I loved our years playing softball - because of you I learned that Slow Pitch existed. We shared this funny story for years:
He asked me to play softball for his team, loving the game I agreed. When I showed up to the field for the game I asked him why the pitcher was pitching the ball so weird. He said - “Oh yeah I forgot to tell you it’s slow pitch”! Me- “Uh, Uncle Ted you know I’ve only played Fast Pitch, I have no idea how to hit that...

Thankful for all the memories❤ We love & miss you so much grandpa!

Ted taught me so much about service to others, giving back, and being a part of those things important to you. He lead by example and was often hard to keep up with, but I, and so many others, will always be grateful for the lessons he taught and the passions he shared along the way.
Ted, thank you for helping me to help myself to become a better person, a better friend, son, and brother. My mentor, my sponsor, my dear friend... you will be missed. Rest in peace "commander", it has...
