I had the pleasure of working with Teddy over the years in the music business. One job was doing an upgrade at Lake Lehman football stadium. May he rest in peace. Stu

so sorry for your loss Mary Beth. Ted was a great guy. One of the best sound men around. I had the pleasure to work with him as he was the sound technician for Wilkes university's graduations as well as many other smaller venues for many years. His expertise made all of them sound perfect. we became good friends and I will miss him. Thank you Ted for everything you did for me and Wilkes University.
Your friend, Phil Marino.
