We only spoke very briefly, but on those few occasions, Mr. Conte, you

helped me to see both sides of an issue. May you rest in peace.

Sybil, Denise and I were very saddened to hear about your loss. Ted was a role model and inspiration for all of the Lion's Distict Governors that followed him. A joke, a smile and strict adherance to procedure were the outside trademarks of his deep compassion and understanding. I am proud to have known and served with Past District Governor Ted.

Around about 1963 or 64 Mr.Conte loaded up a station wagon and took a load of Boy Scouts to the Outer Banks. In fact, they camped almost next to the Oregon Inlet Bridge (under construction at the time and not open to traffic.)



Mr.Conte arranged it so that those Scouts could walk on that bridge, and marvel at beauty of the Banks.



Thirty something years later, one of those Scouts spent a decade as a Scout Leader.



That one trip, So long ago,.,



That Boy Scout sure did learn a lot from an Eagle.....



Always Eagle.

Lion Ted Conte was a commited dedicated servant. His life was centered around helping others and making a real difference. His work in Lionism and his support of Prevent Blindness Virginia over the years is a testimony to this fine man. He will be missed.
