A lifetime is a short time when you get to share your days with a caring and dedicated man like Ted. Ted was an unofficial guardian of our community and his influence will be felt for years to come. Thank you Shan and Andi for sharing him with so many of us! So blessed to have called him my friend and advisor!

Andi and Shan:
Carol and I extend our deepest sympathies on your great loss. We regret that we cannot be with you on the 28th (as we are in Florida) but you both and Ted are in our thoughts and prayers.

Working with Ted, laughing with Ted, even performing with Ted at Reg Wagle's retirement party or just chatting with Ted, was always a pleasure. I recall so well the morning I found out that I may have lung cancer. I was at Bob Evans with family after the initial diagnosis and I saw Ted. He asked me what I was doing there and I relayed the news. He said "If I had just been given that diagnosis, I would get to Dr. Rafat Ansair ASAP and let me know if you need help." Best advise I have ever received. I did not have lung cancer but 5 years later, I did have lymphoma. Dr. Ansari is the best and I have Ted to thank because I had already chosen a different doctor and then changed based on his recommendation. God bless him, Andi and family.
