Ted was such an extraordinary man. Words cannot accurately express how accomplished, courageous and compassionate a person he was. Our family met him only a couple of times, but we felt we had known him for a lifetime. We talked and laughed like we were old friends. And, over the course of his illness, our hearts grew closer to him. He was a loving husband and father and found so much joy in the life he had with his family. We feel blessed that God allowed us to get to know him. We will really miss him. God bless you, Renee and Patrick.
Ted, I miss you buddy. I want to pick up the phone and talk to you, but I can’t. You’ve moved on to a better place away from the pain and troubles of this world. You helped me get through some difficult times and I’m a better person for having known you. I enjoyed working with you and had fun at the 49er games we went to. I’ll miss our long talks about life. I’ll catch up to you in Heaven. God Bless you friend, Dale

Ted, we only knew you for a few years, but we just "clicked". From helping Joel clear out a self storage unit with your pick up, to having us for Thanksgiving dinner, to listening to your stories and laughing about all your airline tales, you enriched our lives greatly. You were a "gentle giant" a regular guy, an awesome husband and father, and you will be missed.

Love and prayers to darling Renee and Patrick and the wonderful family and friends of loving and lovable Ted. I have known Renee Angelique since she was a little girl and when she said she had found her True Love I knew he had to be a very special and fantastic man. I loved hearing their love story, seeing their storybook wedding pictures and watching their precious Patrick grow into such a happy, brilliant little boy with Ted and Renee’s great parenting. Ted will live on in Patrick and in the deep love Renee, Patrick and all of us carry in our hearts of such a terrific gentleman. He will be watching over his family always. Love and hugs, Maureen

"Say not in grief ‘he is no more’ but live in thankfulness that he was." – Hebrew proverb. My mom and I send our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Renee’ & Patrick.
A life is like a song we write; In our own tone and key; Each life we touch reflects a note; That forms the melody. We choose the theme and chorus; Of the song to bear our name; And each will have a special sound; No two can be the same. So when someone we love departs; In memory we find; Their song plays on within the hearts; Of those they leave behind. Renee & Patrick – our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God’s comfort and strength surround you.
Ted you will be missed.
