Still miss you buddy. Always have fond memories when passing the remains of the old camp. The old fishing maps are still used.

When I went to my grandpa's house he would always hug me and tell me that he loved me.I loved him so much. At Mardi Gras I would stand on my ladder and wait for his float to come by and he would see me and throw me lots of stuff!
He took me all over. We went to the zoo, the aquarium,a Hornets game, and lots of restaurants.
As I grow up, I know Paw Paw will watch over me and be proud of me. I will always be proud of him.

My deepest condolences to Melainie and Gail. We all had a lot of fun together and took several trips. I loved your father very much for many years. Even though our marriage ended we stayed good friends. I just learned of his death and am very sorry.

I've written here and there about how important my last visit with Ted was. I was very sad, he sang to me..."into every life a little rain must fall". He made me smile. Gail and I have been best friends since 1970. I've known the Sternbergs since then. I have always loved them and felt like one if the family. Ted and Susan always welcomed me at Mardi Gras, no matter how many years went by or how many people I dragged with me.
Susan, is who I really want to mention. You have always been the queen of Mardi Gras in my book. You were truly the queen of Ted's heart. His love
For you twinkled in his eyes, and his voice. I know you loved him as much as he loved you. I have always admired your wisdom, strength, commitment , loyalty and love.
You and Ted brought love, laughter, and fun to many. Thank you for all you gave to me.

In loving memory of a long time friend. You will be sorely missed. May the trout and redfish still fear your name. Even though we differed in age by two generations, we had an uncommon and special bond that bridged the gap. You gave the wise life advice lessons and I always kept you joking and young in spirit. No one else could rib or make fun of each other like us when we were fishing. You will always be remembered and Loved by me,your fishing buddy Bill
