Teddy is the big brother who potty trained me. I guess that's why he always called me "Booty Butt". Even in front of my friends -uuugggh! :). I will always have good memories of him---especially as a child. When I was younger he would always make sure that his two little sisters (Tracy and I) had the best Christmas' ever--lots of gifts. On Saturdays he would come get us and take us, along with Tina Myles, to McDonalds. And was still the same generous person to all the kids in our family---buying clothes for school---giving candy etc. There's so so so much more that I could say about my big brother...

I guess, now that I am an adult, Teddy still saw me as his "baby" sister because he would never let me know his about his battle with fighting cancer. We had conversations as if everything was normal, still talking about sports and The Young and the Restless.

I always take pride in telling everyone “I have six brothers and one sister". It is truly heartbreaking, for all of us, that the circle has been broken. Teddy I miss and love you very much. Your lil' sister, "Booty Butt".

Uncle Teddy was one of my favorite uncles. I Love him very much as I do all my family. I remember when we were little he used to give me,my sister,and bother a dollar to go down to the corner store, and we used to come back with a bag full of candy. And my cousin Brenda gave us a reminder the he used to call us his "nuckle head freds" But I remeber most he was a very giving, and he was helpful to others. I think about him a lot. I hear a song on the radio and it just makes me tear up. But I know that I will see him again one day. I know that he is with God, our Lord and Savior. I just want to say that I Love you Uncle Teddy and will miss you...Until we meet again....your niece..

Teddy was one of my favorite uncles. I remember when I was a little girl, my brother and I always thought he was "rich" because he drove a different car all the time, but as we got older we realized that he worked for National Car rental. I had the chance to see my uncle Teddy almost everyday for the past 2 years and he never let anyone know how bad he was suffering,now his gone. His spirit is still among us we can still feel his presents in the house,see him washing his truck and laughing while he is trying to tell us a story(Hee..,Hee..,Hee..)and he will always have the "King" spot in the driveway.We will miss you and always Love you. Your niece...

It was my great pleasure to have known Teddy, even for a short time, and to assist him during his illness. His kindness, gentleness and love for his family impressed me every time I saw Teddy. Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. I know he will be missed.

We both got to know Teddy when Patty worked at the Sanctuary in Dublin, prior to our moving to Florida in January 2004. I'm also a big guy and Teddy talked me out of a leather Cleveland Browns coat for a lot less than it was worth because in Florida, according to him, I wouldn't need a coat. Teddy liked Patty a lot and it showed in a lot of ways. There was a lot of mutual affection there as well as respect. He always just gave me a lighthearted hard time. We knew he had been ailing for a while. We sent a card to him in care of the Sanctuary, but it was returned as undeliverable. We wish he had gotten it. Please accept our condolences and our prayers for you all to get through this trying time. Teddy has gotten his reward and I'm sure he's smiling down on us all.

Teddy was a special person. He was always there to support me when others turned, had a smile that would melt any heart, a true supporter for those people and things he believed in and a voice he loved to share while singing at work. He was one in a million and will be sadly missed.
