I grew up in Wellesley with Ted.
We reconnected a few years ago via Facebook.
We would talk every so often via text or phone. He spoke most often about his daughters and how wonderful they are. Although I didn't know him well, we shared the connection of growing up in Wellesley and similar interests in music. We would maybe chat every few months. The most recent was in November. He was always quick with a "how are you doing?' and took time to remember what had spoken about the last conversation. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I hope his memory is blessing to his daughters and family.
