It was a young Ted that we knew, starting with his military time at Ft. Bliss. We were a close family unit after they moved back to Wisconsin and we were in the Chicago area, with many visits back and forth. Jerry and I were godparents, when Marianne was Christened as an infant. It has been my pleasure to be able to keep up that relationship. Our condolences to all of his family and friends. I can only imagine how much he will be missed by all of you, though I hope you can find comfort in coming together to honor the life he lived.
