Dear Susan and Family,
I am saddened to hear of Ted's passing. He was a fine man and a great lawyer. He was a great help to me in learning the profession. So kind and attentive. I think of him often.

The world is a smaller place without our beloved Teddy Burns. He had a wonderful knack for making friends -- at college, at work, wherever one encountered him. Ted was smart, gregarious, more than a little impish, capable of the occasional prank, a terrific tenor singer, and all around good company. He will be sorely missed.

Teddy Burns was a true gentleman. It is hard to imagine that he is no longer among the living. He will be missed, but the memories of his good-natured disposition will live on as long as those who knew him continue to breathe.

Dear Relatives and Friends of Ted,
Knowing Ted in college, I came away then (over 46 years ago) with the firm impression of what so many of you have mentioned now: that he was an exceptionally sweet man, full of good humor and goodwill.

Dear Family and Friends of Ted Burns. What a fine fellow and great friend he was to a lot of people at Hamilton. We sang in the Hamilton Choir together and I always admired that great first tenor voice - he excelled and I struggled! And he kept that great fraternity - Sigma Phi - afloat which at times was quite a task. My regret was that we could not entice him to be an AD!We'll miss that friendly, understanding and steady friend.

Dear Burns Family. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Ted's passing. He was a good friend at Hamilton College and fellow Western New Yorker. I and my fellow members of the Class of '64 wish you the best and also our deepest sympathy.

Dear Burns Family - I am very sorry to hear of Ted's passing. He was a great mentor to many young attorneys in Buffalo, as he had the rare combination of possessing a gentlemanly demeanor while still being able to tenaciously fight on behalf of his clients. He was a great guy and he will be missed.
