Teddy was a great friend in high school. He was always fun to be around, and he had a great sense of humor! Our deepest sympathy goes to his daughters, their families, Kathy and Les.

eddy was married to my older sister Kathy. As a child he was like a older brother. As an adult he still was like a brother. When I would visit my nieces house, whom he lived with, I always liked visiting with him. Id give him a hug and called him Teddy Bear. Wonderful father and grandfather, he will be truly missed. God speed brother!!❤

To the entire Fenyves family,
While I did not attend ECW I lived in EC for the better part of my life. I hung with the (Harbor) kids and knew Teddy there and while he & I were in the 196th LIB in Vietnam. Ted was a great soldier and an even better man than you could imagine. I will always remember his good nature, his terrific sense of humor and the love and concern he had for hi family. You have my deepest condolences on his passing.
