Although it's been many years since we've seen Ted, we want to send our condolences to his family on his death. We used to do business with Ted many years ago when we were in the restaurant business. We always enjoyed his visits and know that his brothers, Sam and Chuck will miss him terribly.

Wanda and I were... and are deeply moved by the passing of this great man.... He was a mentor and a friend as we entered into the Hospitatility business. Ted's sincerity and honesty set the bar for all of us to reach. Today is a very sad day...yet I savor the moment we have will meet again and carry on the same gifted conversations. Our sincere love and deepest regrets to the family.
