Uncle Richard,
I wish I had gotten a chance to come visit you in Arizona. The last time we talked you said that you would give me a few pointers at cards if I came to visit, I would have loved that. 
I have been thinking a great deal about the summer Sean and I spent with you, Brian and Jeremy on the Ranch in Colorado. Learning so much about raising pigs, cattle and chickens, I remember your pet Goose “Mother” who loved you so much that she would bite anyone that got near you. The four of us boys had a great time but got into trouble once in a while, requiring you to set us straight. I will never forget how worried I was on the first day at the ranch when you told Sean and I that if we were going to stay there that summer we were going to need to learn how to use toilet paper like a Marine. (I don't think I went to the bathroom for the first week) Oh what a sense of humor. 
I will never forget how you treated my brother and me as part of the family from day one.
I love you and will miss you Uncle Teddy

To his family it is with a sad heart that I heard about his passing.  He was loved dearly and will be missed. Growing up going to Central High School and working at Koligian Dry Yard we got to know each other well even though he went to Colorado we still knew and loved him dearly..  Love you

Richard was a cousin, a friend and a high school classmate.  We talked about getting together since we both lived in Arizona.  It just never happened and now it's never going to happen.   It is sad to realize that someone your own age has passed away.  My condolences to the family and especially his mother Marge.

Ted, 

I wish that I had got the chance to say “good bye”.  I am remembering lots of things this morning:  Our small German ethnic pride club at Central Union High School, Your mom's superb German Chocolate Cakes, Cruising the Main in Fresno, Picking up Marsha's little red Isseta and putting it inside a rectangle of cement pillars – then being made to lift it up and put it back where it was when we got caught, Trips to the library followed by hours of ‘philosophizing' over multiple cups of coffee at Angelo's Drive In, Visiting various nightclubs in Fresno to listen to Charlie Tilghman play piano – I think the first one was at the Lime Lighter, then there was that place on Blackstone (I forget the name), Me talking you into joining the Marine Corps Reserve, The bus ride down to Marine Corps Recruit Depot at San Diego on June 20, 1960, The trials & tribulations of our time in Boot Camp, Our time on the USMC rifle range at Camp Matthews (now UCSD), Infantry Training Regiment at Camp Pendleton and Hawk Missile training at 29-Palms, California, Followed by 6-years of monthly weekend training drills in Fresno and after drill ‘pubbing', marching in the USMCR Color Guard at almost every event because we were among the few who had dress blues, annual USMCR summer training at 29-palms, The day you got promoted to Corporal while I was still a PFC.  In 1966 we went on separate paths geographically when I went to OCS and then to 22-years of active USMC service and you later moved to Colorado.  But every year, we would exchange greetings via note, a call, or in later years an email on November 10th stating simply “Happy Birthday Marine!”  Now you have gone to guard the streets of heaven – and there will be no more calls or emails.  “Good Bye Ted – I miss you” – Dir Alten Kameraden and fellow Marine.

We salute your veteran. Our condolences for your loss and gratitude for your loved one's service to our country.

Richard, meeting you through a mutual friend, and sharing e-mails was great, now you are at peace, and your journey is almost complete. Ann P-Z

Dad, you are missed. Thank you for being a part of my life. For helping shape me. For challenging me. For expecting me to be my best. It wasn't always easy. But you were my dad when I needed a father. And you died as my friend. Love you, dad.

Sorry to hear about the recent passing of an classmate of mine.

George M. Cross

Oh we never know where life will take us
I know it's just a ride on the wheel
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's okay now
Goodbye my friend, my Brother, Goodbye...

Ted and I were classmates At Teague Gra
mmar School and Central Union many years ago. So sorry to hear of his passing. Dale Buchanan

Farewell Marine!  You were a good friend and I will miss you.

Semper Fi, 

Norm Stahl
