Dear Aunt Toni, my Cousins and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Ted; I didn't know. Life is so short. I had so many questions to ask him. I can feel your loss.
He enjoyed golf?, I would have loved to play a round with my Uncle.
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love, Maureen

Walking after a little white ball. Ted is a very good friend and his words of wisedom will serve me and my family for years to come. We will miss you.
Love,

Ted taught me so much in the 12 years I spent with him at Weber. His stories, experiences, and life will always be remembered. Ted taught me different methods to look at things that I will use every day of my life. I am so sorry he is no longer with us and do miss having him around to put me in my place. My prayers go out to your family.

Both Adrienne and I will have fond memories of Ted. He was a friend and a special mentor over the years. I started at Weber 25 years ago with Ted and will always remember his good advice about work and about life. I will miss the adventures we had playing winter golf. Thanks, Ted.

Dearest Toni,
We were both deeply saddened with the news of Ted's passing. We both have known Ted for a very long time (back when Weber was in Arl Hts). Over the years, he taught us alot about life and to live it to its fullest. He was always interested in our family and especially our two children, from telling him of their births to their wedding days. We will all miss him very much. God Bless you and your entire family.
