Though saddened at Ted's passing, I can't help but to have a huge smile when remembering all the wonderful times shared with him. From his earliest days, Ted had a unique skill and insight to life that made all around him much better people. Whether playing as kids, playing Risk at the Mayfair or joining him on the New York/ LA/ Lansing circuit, you never left a visit with Ted without knowing you had one heck of a great time. Thank you for that Ted. We may shed a tear or two, but that's just...

I only met Ted a few times at comedy nights in Lansing. Living in Jackson I made a point to talk with him both times about "back home". Funny guy, sorry to all your family.

Ella and I will miss you so much. She wishes she could have gotten just one more hug. I hope you're up there having a great time with all those wished for conversations on your front porch. You better be up there keeping an eye on us down here too, guiding us when we need it and laughing at us if we manage to be funny. We love you so much.
