I just stumbled upon Teddy's obit today on line. I served with Ted in the Marine Corps in Japan and North Carolina in the mid 50's. I had the pleasure to speak to him briefly on the phone the last few years. He was always the most pleasant and friendly Marine that I new. Surely he will be missed by all that were honored to know him. My condolences to all of his family and friends.

Extending our condolences to Teddy's family and other friends: We first met Teddy when he visited my father during his extended stay in bay state medical center. Teddy visited frequently and always cheered him up; and kept in touch with us after my father passed away. A great person who will be missed by us and many others I am sure.

So sad to hear of Teddie's passing. I met him years ago; a friend of my father's, and I would often speak to him when going to visit my dad in the hospital if our visits coincided. He was a good friend to my dad, and that was much appreciated. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
