Take care! Kristy & Paul

Ted had the gift of enjoying life to the fullest and, generously sharing this enthusiasm. His fun loving personality and warm presence were always a treat. His goofy singing made us all laugh.

Ted, Nancy, Jessica and Tim will always be very special in my life. Love, Marcia Mellinger

Ted Preg will be missed very much. He was a wonderful uncle to my daughter, Sophia. She always looked forward to seeing him at family get togethers. She admired Ted's authentic kindness, intellect and loyalty. He took a genuine interest in what she had to say and her life. Ted was a good soul on earth and now beyond. He was a real gentleman. His gentle spirit will remain forever in the hearts of those he loved and who loved him. My deepest sympathy to his beloved Nancy, Tim, Jessica, Dave,...
