There are never words enough to truly express sorrow and grief, but I remember when Ted read, graveside, a poem he had written about his parents. I was struck by his realization - how much they loved each other, their children, and their grandchildren - and know how very much he loved you, the children, and grandchildren. All of you hold tight to his love -
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family,

There is a hole in our heart as we remember your wonderful husband and father. He was the light of our wedding and will live on in our video forever. When we remember Ted, it will be with a wink and "a little charm".

How sad it is to lose another member of the cousins. We will all miss Ted and hope he will find comfort in being with all of his family that went before him. This was not his time, it was much too soon. Our sympathy to all of you, and we will always remember Ted.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Ted. Ted and I were friends growing up in our high school days. He was a very talented guy and always had a great smile for everyone. We also did some crazy things together. I will fondly remember those days.

I am so sorry to hear about Ted. I was just thinking of him and then heard of his passing. I could always rely on Ted to "get the shot" but more than his abilities - I considered him a friend. Thanks Ted - I'll miss you.
