Theodore "Ted" Lewis

Unfortunately, it has taken me a couple of years to post this, but Uncle Ted has never been far from our thoughts. He was one of the main reasons I started running marathons and climbing mountains. One day, when my dad (his brother) was in the hospital, he asked if I was working out and I said "no". It took a few years but I finally did. We used to play chess together - he always beat me.

What Uncle Teddy did in his life was so special, he was writing code before anyone knew what...

Ted,
I was a young man of 24 when we met at Trident Tech. Like most college graduates, I thought I was going to conquer the world.

Sincerely,
Bob Frankovich

I am so sorry to hear of Ted's passing;he was a great guy! I knew him from playing chess at Melody Manor and then later at the Library on Lee Rd. & Edgewater Dr. What a mellow and friendly guy & a pretty strong chess player to boot!

Ted Lewis was one of the finest men I've ever known. I cannot think of anyone I respect more. He was a talented instructor that was able to get the very best from his students and all of them that I know speak of him with respect and appreciation.

Sorry to hear of Ted's passing. I knew Ted from the Central Florida Chess Club back starting in the 80's . He was always friendly and just a nice guy to have around. I will miss him .
