Ted or the Captain as we knew him was not just a man. He was a legend, a father figure, and just an overall wonderful human being.
Words cannot express how much he meant to me and he will be missed.

Teddy was an Uncle the day he was born and we grew up together. We were young in the day when you would leave your home and explore and play in the woods and along Curry Run creek until the next meal or evening. Both my Uncles were adventurous kids and we had so many fun times from swimming in that freezing creek, to sled riding down sugar camp hill. Teddy was a good old boy, and always had a good joke, story or wisecrack.
He loved Curry Run and I can remember when he made a sign with Curry Runs population and posted it along the road, always good for a laugh.
Teddy had his moments, but as many of us do, we muddle through, and if lucky, we come out on the good side of life.
We have many happy memories of Uncle Teddy and will miss him.
Many blessings to your family in this sad time.

I only interacted with Ted from playing football against my school and seeing him at the dam where he worked and running into him here and there and he was always friendly and joking around with me, I have no doubt that he´s going to be missed by his family and so many others that was in his life !!
