  1. Ted was a kind and friendly man who was a scholar and gentleman. Not many men can claim all of that – and to have been loved and respected by so many. My condolences to his children and grandchildren. Paula, you often mentioned how lucky you felt to have him in your life; I’m sorry for your loss.
