Ted was a regular customer at the store where I work. We discovered our Tennessee connection one day and that was an endless conversation for us. He was always very thoughtful, asking about my trips and how my family was doing. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ted, Connie and the entire Corontzos family were the epitome of friendship and the best of neighbors. God definitely had a plan when he placed the Corontzos' and Maronicks together in copper court. We grew, loved and learned from each other. We will miss Ted dearly. The entire family is an inspiration in love, respect, and the passion to follow your dream. I feel blessed to have known him....Catherine Maronick Roe, Chicago IL

I was saddened to read that Ted had passed away. As a fellow attorney I always admired the way that Ted conducted himself in and out of the courtroom, he was a true professional. I often seeked his advice and he always made himself available to assist me. Ted epitomized the word "class" and he will be deeply missed. God bless!
Respectfully, Brant Light
