I loved Ted so much! We spent a lot of time together in our 20´s and had so much fun! He was the most fun, happy-go-lucky guy, always laughing, joking and having fun. We camped with family and friends, snow skied, water skied, hiked. I was one of his baseball team´s biggest fans. Ted´s in heaven, making everyone laugh. God bless and comfort his family and friends.

A quiet gentle man. I had many classes with Ted and always respected him for being himself. If we all had what Ted had, we'd be better for it. And this was at a very young age. No one was going to mess with this kind kid if I had anything to do with it. He didn't know it, but his gentleness inspired me. I pray for his family's comfort and peace. I pray for the salvation of all through our Lord Jesus.

What is there to say about Ted that we all already loved about him. He was funny, a caring soul and an all around good guy. He was always joking and enjoying his life. He will definitely be missed. We love you Ted. Thank you for being a part of our family for 40 years. John and Loretta Serrano
