I was deeply saddened to learn today, Sept. 10, 2018, of Ted's passing. With what I am sure was characteristic dry humor and calm, he helped me apply for and receive Veteran's Benefits for my mother who resides at UMCC, Collingswood. He was a very good man and public servant. R.I.P. Ted.

I am so sorry to hear of Ted's passing. He helped my husband and I with both of our father's VA benefits. We had many issues that Ted always sorted out. He was tremendously knowledgeable. We could always count on him to help in a kind way.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Ted. As a social worker assisting seniors and disabled adults in
Camden County, Ted helped me with many of my senior veteran's needs. A kinder, sweeter man you could
not find! He also visited our Haddon Township Library often and chatted with me and the other librarians while browsing for books and movies. He will be truly missed. My condolences to his family.

My condolences to the family. I work for a local home care company and Ted was very influential in getting many VA benefits for our clients. He was always kind, professional, pleasant and a joy to work with. He will be very much missed in the home care community. Leslie Baruffi

Ted was the wonderful man that helped me and my dad figure out that my father had been suffering from undiagnosed PTSD from the Vietnam War. He put my father on the path to healing the last two years of his life. I'm forever thankful to Ted for all his help! My prayers are with his family! I'm so sorry for your loss.

The world was a better place for many veterans throughout Camden County thanks to Ted! He was a true advocate for those who served and a pleasure to work with. I will never forget Ted and all he taught me about services for our vets! My deepest sympathies go out to his family.

I worked with Ted many years, but became good friends along the way at the office. He was always so kind and funny. He would do anything for veterans, especially the ones that were told 'no'...he would go above and beyond for them. He spoke fondly of his dogs and his face would light-up when talking about his family. He was a true patriot, and gave a great service to our country by helping those that volunteered to defend it. You will be missed, Ted.

On behalf of myself and Burlington County Military and Veterans Services, I wanted to express our condolences. Ted was a dear colleague and friend whom we could count on for tips and his knowledge in better serving the Veterans community. I had the pleasure of sitting with him at our last quarterly training session in Philadelphia where he shared his knowledge, life experiences and future plans. I am very saddened by the news and will truly miss talking to him. May God keep you in a place of eternal peace. My solemn prayers to the Aurig family for peace and tranquility in your heart.
God bless,
