Ted was such a big part of St. Columba. He helped with all of our activities. We had our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper this week at the church and remembered him with great fondness.

Some of my best memories when I was a child were when I was with the McDonalds at the Sand Box in Bethany beach. I was sorry to hear that Uncle Ted had passed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

Jim and I are thinking of Uncle Ted, and all his friends and family, during these sad days. We wish you comfort and peace in your love for each other and for Ted. I remember absolute amazement as a child that my Uncle Ted owned and flew a plane! His adventurous spirit and joy in life survives in his children and their children. His soul is now free to soar again.
