Ted and I were at Maryland State together.I asked him to be the best man at my first marriage.We did not see much of each other after I moved to Minnesota.When I would return to Maryland to visit I usually made contact with him. My mother and sister also kept in contact with him. I am also a "NUPE".If there are any of that old pre-1951 MSC crowd still around please contact me at [email protected] condolences to all of the family.

Words cannot express the deep sorrow that I feel for your loss. I only knew Ted for several years while serving with him on the Board of Blacks Within Government. The individual that I got to know was a wonderful, kind and caring individual with a good heart, always striving to improve the plight of minorities in the government sector.
May our Heavenly Father be a comfort to you as you grieve.

We will se him again. John 5:28
