I was so saddened to hear of Dr. Ted's passing. I send my heartfelt sympathy to all of Dr. Ted's family, friends, and the girls in the office. I prayed for Dr. Ted every day since the beginning of his illness but know that it was time for him to be with the Lord. I was a patient of Dr. Ted for so long that I can't even remember. I will miss him so much but am also grateful to be in Dr. Dennis' care now.
Sincerely,
Ruth Hufford

I was saddened to hear of Ted's transition and offer my condolences to his family and loved ones. I had the pleasure of working with Ted upon graduating from Optometry school and not only learned from him but had great times with him and the staff. I will miss his gentle spirit and kind manner.

To the Ryczek Family: I wish I had the wisdom and skill to somehow say just the right words in your time of grief. Although I was just one of Dr. Ted’s many patients, I was a patient for over thirty years. His care was always exceptional and I was saddened when I first heard about his illness. Although your hearts are broken with his passing, I hope you can take comfort in the memories you will always have.

Dr. Ted, or Uncle Ted, as we called him for much of our lives has been in my life and that of my parents and sisters for over 30 years. I was really sad when I heard he had cancer and was so sad to hear of his passing. I will always have special memories of him. I have been thinking of his parents, sisters, brother, children and wife. Certainly he's in a more peaceful place with God, but everyone here will miss him.

Dr. Ted took care of my vision health for for over 20 years. His knowledge and skill was only surpassed by his kindness and professionalism. He will be sorely missed as a doctor and gentleman by many.

To the Ryczek family, we lived across from Ted on 29th Avenue N. years ago and have been coming to your office for years, first under Ted's care and then his brother Dennis when he came down with cancer. Our hearts are broken for your loss, and you will be in our thoughts and prayers in the days, weeks, and months to come. Praying that your faith will bring you comfort knowing that Ted now rests in the arms of His Savior. God Bless you, Scott, Tracy, and girls.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ted's since 1979, and a patient of Dr. Dennis for many years as well. I can testify that the Light of Jesus shines brightly thru the Ryczek family. While I feel sad at Dr. Ted's leaving us, I rejoice that he is now living in the presence of Jesus Himself! Ryczek family, you will be in my prayers. It's a blessing to have known Dr. Ted and his family! May God continue to comfort you.

We have been patients of Dr. Ted and Dr. Dennis for several years now. We are so sorry to hear of Dr. Ted's passing... not for him because we know he is at peace, but for ourselves because we will miss him.

Dr. Ted, Mike and Carol Merada would like to share our thoughts and prayers with the entire Ryczek extended family. As young kids growing up in the Holiday Park neighborhood, we were impressed with your accomplishments both in school and in becoming a doctor back in our home town. You were definitely one of the influences that drove us “kids” toward seeking successful professions of our own.
