Bill and I were only with Ted on a few occasions but it was evident from our first meeting that he was the salt of the earth. What a kind, gentle, loving man. They say a measure of a man is how he treats his family and friends. If that is the case, then Ted’s measure would traverse the infinite. Carol and Ted share so much love and I say share, because that love continues, as does life after death. We will all miss him and be grateful that he touched our lives if only for a moment in time.
