We've been blessed for all these years of getting to know Ted through Catherine, as a part of our family. God has a special place in heaven for his sweet, caring, funny and quiet soul. Our kids loved being around "Papa" :)
Our hearts and prayers go out to Mary "MeeMaw", Catherine, Missy, Chih, Jack, Michael and Mark. We love you.

I always enjoyed working with Ted in the Code Enforcement Division. Spent a lot of time talking about Code issues and of course his poetry.Ted was always trying to help citizens in need. May God bless Ted and family.
