I'll miss you brother and all the great times we had together...golf, pinochle, stimulating conversation, just the fun of being with you and Lori and the kids. We all knew, the brothers and Teresa, when you were around. Never a dull or boring moment, right Ted. Ted, the Golaszewskis were better off for your being a member of the family. We all love you and will miss you. We'll be together again when God reunites us in His home. Now that you're singing in His heavenly choir, remember us and sing your next song for us. Love you, bro.

After practically growing up with your kids, it was a blessing to get back with your family. Squealing, "Uncle Teddy!!!!!!" always brings such joyfilled memories. Trips to Minoqua, being one of your first delivery gals of Illiana Fishing News, seeing that boat in your driveway, swimming in your pool, shooting baskets on your driveway (and stripping the ball out of your hands from behind!) singing Partridge Family songs in Laura's room...trying to be quiet! Listening to the hilarious banter between you and my dad. Honored that you and Auntie Laurie came to my wedding, joining you and the church guys at the breakfast table, stopping in unannounced, and always being welcomed. Such everyday activities that I will forever hold close to my heart, as these are only a snapshot of the friendship of our families.

My darling brother. I always looked up to you and will miss you terribly.

I will miss you Dad! You are a true blue! Your strength, courage, and determination is a lesson for us all. Kiss our mother, your angel, up in heaven and say hello to her from all of us. Keep bicycling, running, fishing, singing, golfing, and take it easy while you are up there in the great blue sky. Love you Dad. You will always be The Tedinator to me. xoxo Cher.
