When I was in high school I babysat for the Frankiewicz's and Piccini's. They were very kind to me and since moving to NH and raising my family, I lost track. I am sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers.

To the Frankiewicz family: "Teddy"was a great friend & I shared many laughs & good times with him, on the golf course, at the Rutland Country Club. In Aug. of 2008 my daughter brought me back to Vt. & Teddy & I, along with other friends, enjoyed a wonderful lunch together at the club He then proceeded to take me for a ride to the Pittsford Club. It is a good memory & I will miss my golfing buddy!!!

We knew him as "Uncle Teddy". He always had a smile, kind words and a quick wit that made you laugh. Most of all he was a true and good friend. We are proud to have known him and will always miss him.

Amy & David, our thoughts & prayers are with you both and also with your families. May happy memories soon replace your grief. Sincerely, John & Ellie Kruszewski We love you "Uncle Teddy"!

May you find God's peace during this time. Memories of your dad reflect a gentleman always respectful of others, whether a kid caddying, a club staff member or fellow golfer, "Ted" as he directed you to call him, enjoyed sharing, being kind and always positive. One of those truly good guys that touched the world by his presence.
