We thank Ted for being a wonderful, supportive father to us all of his life. He was a quiet man who was all about his family, including his brother Pete, sister Ida, sister in law Helen and his nieces and nephews. He thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, Matthew and Melanie. He was a great listener, and loved to laugh.
