Dear Aunt Eileen,John and Coleen,
I remember as a teenager thinking how cute Ted was, and how happy he made you,Eileen. And then I had the honor of being in your wedding, spending time with both of you,babysitting you kids, watching all of you grow over the years. Ted was a "rock" and like a big brother to me. He was always interested in what was going on in my life, and I followed his moves and career with joy and pride. My heart aches at his passing, but I treasure the memories... prayers and love from me and our whole family,

Dear Eileen and Family,
Pam and I were so sorry to hear the news that Ted had suddenly passed away. Rest assured, Eileen, that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. Ted was not only a good man, but an even better next-door-neighbor. We will miss the friendly backyard chats while doing yard-work, the visits on the porch deck, and the occasional evenings at Sharkey's Restaurant for “clam night.” We are here right next door to you for whatever you might need. In tribute to Ted, I know that in the future, we will continue these “get-togethers” that were just mentioned with you, Eileen.
May Ted's Soul have Blessed Repose, and Eternal Memory.
Pam and Bob

Eileen and Colleen,
I will always remember Ted for his good nature and sense of humor. He was truly a joy to know and I feel fortunate to have gotten to know him. I witnessed first hand how good he was to you and your family and to everyone else as well.
I know you will miss him very much as we all will. I'm sure that he would want all of us to celebrate the good life that he had. We can all be thankful that we had him in our lives and continue to remember him as the great guy that he was.
You have my heartfelt sympathy at this very sad and difficult time.

Eileen and Family - we are so deeply saddend at this loss of one of the good guys.
Ted was a role model who was devoted to you, his children of whom he was so very proud, his grandchildren, his sisters and family.
We are grateful for our visit with you last Christmas and the time spent together during the past year at family gatherings, the B-Mets game, and along the way.
We all thought it was so cool of him to go back to school late in life - and then take on the challenges of teaching math of all things, to high school age students of all things. He succeeded and had fun doing it. He just had a way of connecting with people.
It was Ted who very recently comforted us in the passing of our Dad, with his quiet humor, commomn sense, and willingness to just listen. Our Dad used to talk about how much he appreciated the help Ted would give him with his income taxes. Ted was just that kind of person.
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love and prayers - Jerry and Lynn Morris (Plantation, FL); Dave and Laura Morris (Mt. Dora, FL); Katie and John Dravenstott (Dallas, TX), and Mary Beth Morris (Plantation, FL/Syracuse NY)
