Read MoreTed was my Teacher among teachers. He played an instrumental role in my life as a young teen. He taught me about literature, theater, music, drawing and painting. He taught me how to be sensitive, humorous, insightful, kind, creative and friendly. I am so sorry for your loss, Urbain and all Ted's friends and relatives. I too shed tears...tears of golden and precious memories and total respect and love.

We worked with Ted back in the late 80s. We enjoyed his creativity, sense of humor and unique approach to life. So happy we had the opportunity to know Ted.

Sorry to hear of the loss, although he lived life to the fullest that was given to him. The arts, theater im sure he was a great inspiration to many people and if they known of his passing on there would be groups sending out blessings. Uncle Teddy say hi to my pops for me and give Chris a hug for me too.
