To the Mislin Family,

I am truly sorry for your loss.

Ted and I graduated THS in 1968. Although I moved out of the area we able to reconnect several years ago at high school football games. Ted Jr and my nephew Ryan were part of those very good teams.

I will remember Ted as a fun-loving guy. And certainly a person who will be missed by many.

Kim Mislin Cran

June 23, 2009

I remember being a little girl and going to see my big brother play soccer in a match against UB, and hearing Dad brag about how proud he was of Ted. Whenever things would happen in life that bothered Dad, he wanted to talk them over with Teddy. Although our paths and circumstances took us down different roads, I will always remember the kindness and emotion in Ted's eyes, the deep loyalty and love he had for family, and his ability to laugh and find the good in almost any situation. He was a "glass half-full" kind of guy. The Mislin brothers were always strong - looked out for each other. At first it was Ted and Tim, but they made room for Billy. How tragic that the brothers are once again two. May those beautiful, kind eyes of Ted's be at peace, and may he rest in the presence of the love that was waiting for him on the other side. My heart and prayers are with Barb and her girls, Tim, Claudia and their girls, and Billy and Lori. Much love and sorrow - Kim
