My uncle was a truly special and honorable man..He had a sensitivity and God given moral integrity that never diminished with age. He held fast to good old fashioned rock solid values and never strayed. God forbid I should offer to cover even so much as the tip when he took me an Moyna out to dinner! He got me started in the horse loving world which resulted in a very special bond between us. The foundation he gave me will continue to give me strength throughout the remainder of my life and beyond the grave… I loved and cherished my uncle more than words could ever express…Rest in blissful peace uncle Ted and we love you then, now and forever more.

I had the pleasure of enjoying his company in Punta Cana, deep sea fishing and sharing in celebration, as well as many social gatherings. I cannot think of a more sincere, kind and generous man, as attested by his legacy in his children. The world lost a great man.

Moyna, I want to let you know that it was a beautiful video! My husband’s services went very well this past Saturday.
Joe suffered a lot these past few weeks and months. As much as I did not want to see him suffer, I did not want to
let him go either. Truly a double edge sword! Please take care and I hope to see you again sometime. I wish you the
best and to forge ahead as I am sure Ed would want you to do. Take care!

Dear Moyna, My deepest sympathy to you and your family in your loss of Ted. Ted and I grew up together in Coaldale and had many good times doing what young buddies do. I will always cherish those days and experiences. We could have written a best seller. Good by, good buddy see you in the hereafter. Dave
