Dear Stella and Alan,
Ted had the biggest heart and will be missed by all of the Shabbona Park Special Recreation Program (The Sharks). I never knew a man with so much energy at his age. He loved and respected all our kids and took pride in their accomplishments. Even when he retired he never really retired. His love for the kids kept him alive. He will truly be missed. He touched so many lives. We could never properly thank him for his sacrifice and dedication. He truly gave from his heart and soul. We all need to learn from his example. God bless you.
Carl's father and Ted shared the same birthdate, Oct 15 and also were buried on the same day, Dec. 30. Strange coincidence.

Alan and Mrs. Bieniak,
I am very sorry to hear about your dad's /husband's death. I'll never forget his kindness, especially in 1977, when he drove me to highschool everyday after I broke my arm. Your family is in my,thoughts and prayers.
