Ted was a great man. We worked together at Southview we became close friends. He loved his family dearly especially his daughter Meagan whom he called "Dolly" he talked about her all the time and his sisters as well. He will be missed.

I met Ted 10 years ago at work. He was a great guy with a huge smile and an infectious laugh. We lost touch over the last few years and I was greatly saddened to hear he passed away. RIP Ted-you will be missed.

Ted will always be remembered as a solid fraternity Brother of Lambda Chi Alpha at Eastern Michigan University. Though I have not seen him for many, many years, I cannot forget his unique sense of humor and uncanny ability to make people laugh. I also played softball with Ted in Ann Arbor and on inter-mural teams in the Greek League at E.M.U. He could really "flip" off of the mound and confused other teams with his animated antics. As with other Brother's from our very close Chapter of Lambda Chi's at EMU who have passed away over the years, Ted will be remembered in open dialogue during our 33d annual trip down the Rifle River next week. I'm certain there will be some great Ted stories and he will be honored during our Alumni meeting at the campsite on April 30th.
Rest in Peace brother....Brother Benson

Ted was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity at Eastern Michigan University, and my memories of him go back to when we played softball together with a number of the fraternity brothers. We had a number of very successful teams that were lead by Ted as a pitcher. Ted always had a smile that was as wide as he was tall. He was an ominous site on the pitcher's mound with a wide grin that greeted each opposing batter, followed by a long stretching arm that confused many opponents. His loud laugh could be heard from the parking lots following a strike out, or when his confusing pitch resulted in an easy out following a weak grounder. I’ll always remember him in this way.
God's speed brother.... Brother Rich
