My condolences on the loss of Teddy as we JC cops knew him. He is now at rest with his brother, the first JC born Soldier killed in action in Viet Nam. Ted and I worked together off duty at Nelson Distribution in Secaucus for his old pal Bill Canfield. I can see all three of them having a good laugh up there right now. Rest in peace brother.
