A truly inspirational teacher at NSTI. I thought of him often since I took his Assembler class in 1980. A brilliant man who connected to his students.

We are praying for the family at this sorrowful time. Ted and I were classmates at NSCC back in the 70; it seems that he went on to be a successful administrator . I'm truly proud, as I'm sure you are, of his accomplishments. We will be lifting you up in prayer.
