Ted is a Theta Delta Chi brother and I am honored to have served with him on a revitalization committee for several years. Despite our age difference, we developed a sincere friendship as he also did with my wife Nancy. I admired Ted's love of our fraternity, it's history, brothers, and traditions. I think of Ted often and am saddened to hear of his passing. May God provide peace and love to Connie and the rest of Ted's family during this difficult time. Rest in peace Brother Thompson.
ITB,
