I am very sorry to hear of Teds passing. Ted jr. had helped with putting new carpet in our home in Snohomish. My son Brent Dale had just passed on the information Sunday. The way I remember Ted is your 1955 chevy. My wife and I saw it in 2001 in a car show in south Seattle or Tacoma. That was the prettiest car I have ever seen. Since then I have built a "55" to look and be just like his. John Dale

Jackie and Family - I am so very sorry to hear of Ted's passing. The news was shared with me through your neighbor, Gale, who had just returned from the service today and was mentioning to our book club how special it was. I couldn't believe it! I send my love, thoughts and prayers for those of you, sweet Ted, left behind. I know very well of your sadness. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. I have so many fond memories of times spent with you and Ted, Jackie. Blessings to you and the family. With Love, Nancy Hutchison

What a great guy my Uncle Ted was--charming, friendly and caring. It's so very sad that he's gone too soon, but I'm grateful to have such lovely memories of him. Hoping the people who loved him will find peace and comfort.

Just need to say this, I'm going to miss you buddy, we were around each other quite a bit growing up, I always looked up to you even tho you were only 3yrs.older than me, but back then you seemed a lot older to me. You were always fun to be around and you were so pure and genuine! Always fun loving and a joy to be around, even tho we went separate ways after growing up I never ever stopped thinking of you, and then I saw you at the family reunion and it made me so happy inside and then I thought damn you look better than me and you are older, but you were the same great guy I remember as a kid, I love you dude hope you knew that even tho we only kept in touch by emails it was great seeing you again and visiting with you, you always made me laugh! You were just a great guy and inspiring person! Prayers to everyone in the family! Your cousin Bill

Big Brother, Teddy... My heart is broken. I cannot believe you have left us to leave for your new home in Heaven to be with Mom, Dad, Andy, Thana and Connie. I am so honored to have been your sister and in spite of all your top secret high school escapades with your friends (which will remain forever between us), you always made me so proud. I especially will miss our phone calls and emails and your face book posts (yes I let everyone know that it was YOU posting using Jackie's fb site). You will never be forgotten by myself and our three surviving sisters, Margie, Elaine, Pam and our children and grandchildren.. I ONLY I WISH THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN WITH YOU during your final moments. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER. YOU WERE A FANTASTIC BROTHER, HUSBAND TO JACKIE, FATHER TO TEDDY GENE AND NICOLE, AND A FABULOUS GRANDDAD TO COLE AND CHASE.. I WILL BE HERE FOR THEM IF NEEDED AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME FOR MY FAMILY. SO WITH THE HELP OF MY GREEK FRIENDS (as I can speak Greek better than write it) I will leave you the following Farewell: "Poulaki mou --- ego tha leipeis ---- eis to epanidein ---S' agapo ton adelfo mou!!!
