My apologies for this being so late but I just found out about Teddy. He was a good friend and helped me tremendously with my bowling way back when. May Jesus wrap his loving arms around his soul and also having brought comfort to his family.

My deepest sympathies to all Teddy's family. He was closer to my brother Dave back in the day (Westgate Lanes, Softball (Home Cafe etc.) but also a friend of mine. Bowling with him, Jimmy, Al and Danny in Taunton until a couple of years ago, I got to know Teddy as a person even better...the world has lost a good gentle man.

I am saddened by Teddys passing. He was such a great friend to me, and we shared so many happy times. Teddy was my long time bowling team member along with his brother in law Danny. It was a game he truly loved, and had many accomplishments. I will miss him dearly. He is not sufffering anymore, God is with him now. May God Bless his wife Lynn and his children, and family as well. Ted you are in my thoughts and prayers always.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Teds passing. We grew up together, played in a band together when we were only 12 and had many great times through the years. Growing up he was truly like a brother and a loyal and trusted friend. One of the last times we spoke over the phone we prayed and he received The Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. To his wife, children, sisters and all those who knew and Loved him you are all in my prayers. God Bless.
