I had the pleasure of working with and for Ted many times over the years while I lived in Chicago. He was funny, talented, and above all a good friend. He must have known 1000 tunes. God bless his family.

It was always a pleasure to chat with Ted when he was visiting at the home of his daughter, Eli, and his son-in-law, David Claus, in Morton Grove. He will be sorely missed by all who came in contact with him.
