My prayers go out to all of Ted's family and friends. He always had a joke or a funny story to tell. He made people around him smile with his humor. Rest in Peace Ted.

Ted has been in my life for as long as I can remember ... I never have been able to tell a joke, but I always tried - Ted would shake his head and come back with a real joke ... Love You Ted and all the happiness you have given through the years. You will be missed!

I probably hadn't seen Ted since a Class Reunion, and even though we didn't hang around much at school, we are all members of that St.George Family. I will keep him in my Prayers. Regards
