Dear Alex & Family - I was very saddened to learn of Ted's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences. I met Ted for the first time at the Jacksonville Young Adult Retreat in 2000. I was a newly ordained priest and was assisting at the retreat. I remember that Ted experienced a physical healing during the Eucharistic Blessing. May he now know the fullest of healings in eternal life. I pray that you all may know the presence and consolation which only the Risen Christ can bring. May his soul, and the souls of all of God's faithful departed, rest in peace.

Ted, My neighbor at the apartments. I heard him many times jamming on his guitar. He was good at it I may say. He's great at flying little toy helicopters too. It's a shock losing him, a great man with much good in within. I pray that God gives the family peace at this time and always.

To The Allaire Family,
I just wanted to express my heart felt wishes that you may find peace; that as the days go by they become a little easier; may the pain become bearable and that the memory of Ted intensify, so the smiles and laughter I know he would want you to share may return.
To his parents you raised such a beautiful outstanding son which in turn made him able to be the wonderful loving husband that he was.
To his wife he spoke of you often and the love he had for you was so obvious.
He was a friend to so many always making you smile and will be dearly missed by his family at CSX, Greenwood as he answers his final call.

I remember Ted when I was 13 and he lip sang the song Don't Cry by Guns and Roses. We also headbanged at the school dance and were all sore the next day. This is just an example of his charisma and wish for entertainment.
He always stood up for what he believed to be right, even if it meant disagreeing with his friends. He was a very honest, caring, and beautiful human being who loved his wife so very much.
His memory will be kept in all who he touched and I wish his family all of the love that he happily gave to all he knew.
