We send our deepest sympathy to Ted’s family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who knew and loved him. Ted was a giving and caring person who touched the lives of everyone he met. A genuine activist and promoter of the HVAC industry, his passing surely leaves a void in the local and national industry and on our HVACR Advisory Committee at the College of Lake County. Thank you Ted, for your caring service.

Dad, words can't even express the great loss I feel. You were a remarkable person. Everyone who came in contact with you liked you instantly. You had a way to make even the slightest outsider feel at home and welcomed just like the way you took me into your family and under your wing as if I was one of your daughters. We have shared great memories both good and bad. I will never forget you. You are an inspiration to me and have taught me a lot. Your personality and charisma will live on in so many people you have touched. I love you and know you are in a better place. May you rest in peace. Until we meet again. Luv, Dawnie
