To the entire Natkin family, Marcia and I send our deepest sympathy. We always enjoyed Ted’s company, and I specially enjoyed playing golf with Ted for many years. Dave & Marcia Clegg
A wonderful person and a great colleague. Ted was a great teacher and influenced his students to become successful in life. So sorry for the family’s loss

My thoughts and prayers are for Ted, Bev, Mike, Jim and Kathy. So glad to see Ted and Bev at my wife’ Celebration of Life. Ted was really a “gentle bear”, great teacher, golf buddy, party buddy and more importantly a great family man. You will be missed by all who knew you. RIP Ted!
My deepest sympathy to you Linda and the family. God bless you
