Dear Neighbor:

Even "shocked and saddened" just doesn't fully express how my son Conner (who knew Ted from Outpost) and I and others here on Chestnut Street feel about Ted's untimely passing. Our most sincere condolences go to you and the kids, along with our prayers. Your moving here added to the wondeful new generation of families on our special block. In the weeks and months to come, if we can help you, please feel welcome to reach out.
