My memories of Ted are mostly from the 70,s and 80,s. Driving up to the house, Ted would be on the porch picking at the flowers. He would give a big warm and inviting smile each time, and sincerely ask how I am doing. Without judgement, he would listen to what I said, while pouring some tea. He would say, "sit down" while showing interest in what I said. Within each conversation, there was thoughtfulness, and kindness in his words. It was never any different, only gentle and encouraging. Thoughts if Ted are always peaceful thoughts. They always will be. Deb Hill.
That is a beautifully written tribute...The same words came to my mind when I first met Ted, "a gentle soul". Just to look in his eyes there was a kindness, a goodness there, I could feel it. Even though he could not say all that he wanted, he just exuded a kindness, a caring and concern for others even when he was the one who was struggling. It is rare in this world to have touched so many lives leaving such a positive mark. My heart breaks for your family and friends, may you find peace in your memories to hold him close in your hearts. I have never met a kinder, loving family, it is clear that he will live on through all of you. Blessings to you, it was an honor to have had the chance to work with him, I am deeply saddened that he did not have more time. He truly was a beautiful person... Love amd peace, Susan Vassel

I have many great memories of my time at SWUU and consider myself lucky to have known such a good man, the world is a little more empty with his passing
