Not sure what to say?

As someone who grew up in Pompey, Ted's potato farm was very well-known to everyone who lived there. He was a respected and very well-liked member of the community. Ed and Michelle, please accept my sincerest condolences for yours and your family's loss.

I always looked forward to the fresh vegtable season. For the vegetables and even more for the opportunity to chat with Ted at his stand on Rt. 20. I enjoyed hearing about his trucking trips and what was going on with all the vegetables crops. Ted will be greatly missed. Rest in peace.

Teddy worked with my father at ACME MKTS. for years. My dad really loved him. He spent a few nites at our house with dad and him , knocking back a few Crown Royals. Teddy,and Mary Anne followed my brother Mike to ALL his diners! Such great people. Last time I saw them was at Teds dads wake..he didnt recognize me, but Mary Anne did. It was nice to catch up with they both. May GOD welcome him into his arms, I know he earned it! Ill miss him, and all the memories

Please accept the most heartfelt sympathies of Le Moyne College. We hope the love and memories that you will forever hold in your heart bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Teddy, you were such a good friend to all of us. John was in your wedding party, you & Maryanne were in our class in high school. And your wonderful veggies, especially the "Pompey" potatoes, corn, & strawberries. You are missed already. My thoughts are with your kids & their kids. Family is so special..

I am so sorry to hear of Teddy's passing. The Mahoney family has fond memories. Praying for you during this time.

My condolences to the Lelakowski family. Ted was such a nice man and I have many fond memories of him and how much he respected and worked hand in hand with the Palladino family. I still have fond memories of working in his potato fields as a kid picking potatoes for 10cents a bushel. May the Lord give each of you peace in his passing and always cherish his memories as we do our family patriarch who has gone before us.

Oh my goodness... soo many memories of Ted and Mary Anne and family. Hold one another close as you share those memories. Much love, Larry and Pat Carr

To the entire Lelakowski Family : Eric and I were heartbroken to hear of Ted's passing. He was the most perfect example of the best neighbor and friend anyone could ever have. We have lasting memories of all the years we resided next door from the morning greetings, best smiles and stories to sharing our families. Our kids remember hay wagons , strawberry and pumpkin picking to eating sauerkraut and pickles. Eric and I will always be grateful for Ted's help with the barn and our yard as well...
