Ted Templeton

Laura said it so well: I don't think Ted understood the impact he had on others. His integrity, humility, and kindness were exceptional, and one could not help but be moved by his example of how to be an outstanding human. At a dinner last year, I tried to get him to embrace his unique amazingness. He would take the bait. He maintained his extreme humility until the end.

I am so, so thankful that Ted was a big part of my life over the years. His example of how to live will stay with me for a long time. I will miss him but trust that he is at peace.

Condolences to the whole family for this significant loss.

Uncle Ted let me drive his Lexus. How trusting is that if I picked a celebrity whom he most reminded me of I wouldn´t say Fred Rogers, whom I have a very high regard for it was wonderful knowing you, Ted.

Mr. Templeton was such a sweet, kind man. He was so patient and loving and a great dad and husband. I knew him my whole life and will miss seeing him sitting in his chair through the window, backing into the driveway after work, and sharing his carefully cut fruit from his trees. I can clearly hear him say, "Marlene!" whenever I entered his house. I will miss him and am so glad I knew him.
