Not sure what to say?

Ted "Dad" Grudzinski was a spectacular human being. My life has been forever changed since you wandered into my Antique store. I would have never thought that such a chance meeting would develop into a potent father-son, brother-brother, friend-friend relationship. The world was a better place because of the music you brought to it. The day you left a part of me also left to travel the great beyond. My heart is heavy yet filled with so much joy for having you in my life. Love always-...

Ted reading some of his poetry at a SWAG Writers open mic.

I am so sorry to hear of Ted's death. His poetry was always a highlight of our writers group meetings, and I will miss his readings for a long time to come. A truly wonderful voice has been silenced.

I knew Ted through the Beverley Street Studio School where he added a great deal to their program before his illness caused him to resign from a leadership role. My sympathy is with you, his family, and with his many friends in the community.

I am so sorry for your loss. Ted had a special spirit about him. I will miss him.
