My thoughts and prayers have been with you all. There are wonderful memories of good times and laughter with my Uncle and all the family. The trip to California so long ago among other things, so much fun! Love to everyone.

I JUST received this sombering news and am just so so sorry. My heart is heavy for Kay, Greg, Jeff, Alison and all the other members of the beloved Klaiber family. Perhaps there is solice in the fact that whenever I think of Ted, or really any memeber of the Klaiber family, it brings a great smile to my face and a warm and wonderful rush of memories. God bless you all.

We were so sad to hear of our Uncles passing. I remember Uncle Ted as a warm loving and very funny man. He would visit my parents and there were always good times to be had.

Heaven has another Angel watching over his Family.

Love,
