I was shocked and saddened when I heard the news. I always enjoyed hearing him at church, and was lucky enough to have had him as a teacher at Sacred Heart. Although I've been away for the last 5 years, I know what a great loss this is for the Parish. My prayers go out to his friends and family.

Ted brought such joy to the Sacred Heart Choir! Even though I have not lived in Sacred Heart Parish for over 14 yrs, the memories of mirth & faith are still with me.

Rest in Peace, Teddie!
