Ted and I joined the Redding Boy´s Club in 1955. We enjoyed our friendship started in 1955 all our lives. Our friendship in so many ways had high and lows presented to us by the "journey of life". Joan and I miss Ted very much. We believe Ted is bringing leadership, friendship and a role model to his place in heaven.
Ted fathered three awesome daughters who fathered his grandchildren. Ted mentored his family and grandchildren every day of his life. Today his daughters bring leadership, love and light to everyone they touch.
Ted you did a great job! Rest in peace knowing your daughters are carrying on the "Journey of life" as you taught them.
Love,
John and Joan

I met Ted, and Rosina, at Viva Zapata in Hamden. As I recall, he was managing for Bruce Keaton, and Rosina was waitressing, as I was. That was before Chaps opened in Wallingford. Got to go there a few times too, when I lived in Wallingford. Mexican food, margaritas, and memories! Rest in peace, Ted.

I remember when Ted came to the event the JBHSAA hosted at the Spinning Wheel to celebrate Coach Profetto. Ted shared that he had lost the "love of his life" at far too young an age and that his life was now all about his amazing daughters. We soon realized we had a connection since I had eaten at his first Mexican Restaurant on the Cape a few times with my cousins and we had actually met his wife and never made the connection since we chatted about their menu and preparation. Ted was an excellent role model on so many levels and surely an amazing father and grandfather. Mary Mahony'66

My earliest memories of Ted go back to when he lived on Peaceable St., Redding. We used to play flag football with the Reinders brothers and pick green apples from Mr. Beston's tree. Later we were on the high school football and track teams together. Ted was a superior athlete and human. Rest in Peace Ted. Joe Nazzaro.
