Pappy, Alicia and Greg, I am so sorry for your loss. We were all so shocked to here of Ted’s sudden death. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
We are praying for your family and sorry to hear of your loss!
Over 40 years ago Ted and I were caught by a violet storm while fishing from a small boat 70 mile out in the Atlantic. We survived the storm and joked everytime we were together over the suceeding years that we had received a pass that day to the rest of our lives. Ted’s ‘pass’ has ended but the love of his family and the respect and admiration of those knew him reflects on how well he has used it. Goodby old friend.
