Sorry to hear about Ted's passing and the family loss. I served with Ted on the SMCC Finance Committee--such a knowledgeable person and fine gentleman!

So sorry to hear of Ted´s passing. He and I were fellow golfers at Bonita Bay for many years and were founder members of the infamous "Saturday Scratch Group" which I believe continues to this day. Ted and I partnered in many events and tournaments and due to our less than average stature were christened "The Smurfs"! We won a few and managed to lighten the wallets of our opponents frequently!

Ted and I go back a long ways. Mostly thru golf. He came back to Spring Meadows about 10 years ago from Warwick. He was a great guy and his passion for golf was unsurpassed. He would play 8 days a week if he could. He joined the geezer group at SMCC and enjoyed the group. Our prayers go out to the Bunker family. He will be missed by all who knew him. RIP Ted. Tom and the Geezers.

Very sad news. Ted was my boyhood friend. We reconnected 50 years or so later. He was a wonderful person. I remember his loving mother as well.
