To the family of Theodore "Ted" Owen Scofield,
With our "most deepest" sympathy in the loss of your loved one. We also lost a son in 2007. Joshua was 22 years old. Our hearts broke when we read about your Theodore. You continue to be in our thoughts & in our prayers.
We are in a group called, The Compassionate Friends, that supports family after a child dies. It is a
self-help organization that is open to all bereaved families that have experienced the death of a child, sibling, or grandchild from any cause, at any age, from pre-birth to adulthood. The mission of, The Compassionate Friends, is to assist families toward the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child & to provide information to help others be supportive.
At the meetings we share our experiences resulting from our child's death, & how we deal with those experiences. The chance to talk & share & listen is so important in the grieving process. If you ever are interested in attending, there is no time frame in which to start coming. Come when you think you are ready to meet others who understand how you feel. There is a chapter in Fort Wayne that meets the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30pm - 9:30pm with the exception of July & December.

I was very sorry to hear of Ted's passing.  He was always a lovely man with tremendous passion-especially for his son Ben.  Please accept my condolences.

Ted was the leader for my sons cub scout den.  He was always caring, kind & generous  & a role model for the boys.  We will miss you Ted.  Our deepest condolences to Ben & the rest of the family.

Please accept my deepest sympathy and heartfelt thoughts. I have very fond memories of Ted from the Park Forest swim team.

I miss Ted. He is a great friend, my best friend. I will take care of Katie, Ben and the girls. I love Ted and his family. Ted, Ray and Shawn are my buddies. Hugs.

Mrs. Scofield, Tim, Tom and Angie,

I just heard of your loss. I'm sure heaven is a brighter and happier place than ever. Ted was a great friend when I was growing up as were all of you. Ted always knew how to help me see past my struggles with my dad's death and the insecurities of being a kid. Swim team was always a blast when he was there. Ted was blessed with a great family. Tom, I always felt welcome around you and Ted and I must admit that if I could have had a big brother, I would have wanted him to be like you. Angie, you would have been the role model for a sister if could have had one. I always felt the warmth of family and faith when I was with the Scofields. Thank you for all that you brought me........ironically, I converted to Catholicism 20 years ago and I must say that you all had a small piece to this. You are in my thoughts and prayers and if I can ever be there for you in some way, let me know. Ted was everything I could never find my way to be....this world could sure use more folks like him. Peace be with you all and know that you are in my heart as well as thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with Ted's family. I knew Ted as a coworker 20+ years ago and he was always a cheerful, helpful, exemplary team member. I saw Ted here and there over the years, and he always had an encouraging word and a genuine warmth. I will miss Ted from a distance, but will always be grateful for having known him.

To Ted's family, I am so sorry for your loss.  Ted was a great father, husband, brother, son, and friend. He will be terribly missed.

What a tremendous man and a great loss.  Had known Ted and Kate and the girls through Saint Matthew School and here at Holy Spirit.

May you be with God our Father and in Jesus' arms.

Katie, Micah and family,

Just learned of Ted's passing.  So sorry for your loss.  You and your family are in our prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Ted's passing.  My prayers are with Kate and Ben.   He was a wonderful neighbor during my short stay in IN.

 I knew Ted in high school as an athlete, scholar, and all-around nice guy.  Our lives intersected again when we realized our sons went to the same school in Fishers.  Adam loved being Ben's friend and our whole family enjoyed watching Ted and Ben ushering together at Holy Spirit. Ted was such a hands-on father and his love for Ben was so apparent to anyone who saw them together.  My prayers are with Ted's family at this very difficult time.  Rest in peace, Ted, and find comfort in your new home with your heavenly Father.

RIP Ted.  You are a truly wonderful person who touched so many lives.  To Katie and the family our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

All my thoughts and prayers for Ted and his family during this difficult time.  I know the Heavens are rejoicing his arrival.  He will be deeply missed among his peers.

Words cannot express the sorrow of loosing Ted and gratitude for having such a wonderful person as part of our lives.  In the almost 20 years we have known Ted, nobody could light up a room and bring joy into everyday moments like he did.  His passion for life, family and friends was unsurpassed.  His compassion for others unmatched.  His creativity unequalled.  He truly touched our lives and souls in such a special way, making every moment together an absolute joy.  His legacy of love, kindness and service to others is an inspiration for each of us to emulate.  We miss him dearly, and are keeping Ben and Ted's entire family in our thoughts and prayers.

Ted was so talented, humble and warm.  His love for Ben was evident to all of those whose lives he touched.  It was my pleasure to work with him on several occasions. May God's blessing surround Ben and his family and  give them peace.

We moved across the street from Ted in 1999. He immediately became one of our best friends. However, no one was a better friend to Ted than his son Ben! In knowing Ted, there is no doubt in my mind that he could have ever left Ben like this unless he knew he would be OK! Rest in peace Ted!

Ted, was a wonderful person that I went to school with, he was a cheerful person.  He will truly be missed... R.I.P. Ted, I will always remember you.  To the family just remember Ted is in a better place watching over his family God has another Angel.   Sabrina Lapsley class of 84

May your soul rest in peace Ted. Still cannot believe this is true. You will always be remembered as a great father.

Rest in Peace Ted, your leadership and talents will live on in D.A.D.S.  You will be missed by us all.  Jeff, Jan and Nash Huffman

Ted was one of those people you are instantly comfortable around and always look forward to see every time the chance arrived.   Fortunately, thanks to DADS, which exists today because of Ted and a few other core "founding fathers", there were many opportunities to see him at events.   Our favorite was the Halloween Hayride which Ted selflessly put together every year.   It was always great to see his big smile and bright, childlike eyes beaming out from under his cowboy hat with Ben at his side.   He was a genuine and generous spirit, a consummate good man.    Our hearts and prayers go out to all his family.    We miss you Ted and will never forget you.

What a great loss to the community and us all.  Ted was the perfect example of how one man can make a difference. I feel blessed to have known him.  Thank you Ted. Prayers to all.

I did not know Ted well, but,was a teacher in Ben's class several years ago.  I will always remember the way Ben's face would light up when Ted came to visit.  They were the best of buddies.  I pray you feel God's peace and comfort as you start this journey of grief.  God Bless.

Ted may you rest in peace!!!  Our deepest sympathies to the entire Scofield family.  We did not know Ted like others, but we always heard that he was a kind and warm hearted friend and an excellent father to Ben.

Ted was one of my best friends and helped me become the person I am today. You will be missed

Ted will be truly missed not only by the D.A.D.S group but also the moms of the mothers of those with down syndrome children. He was a great inspiration to us all. He always wore a smile on his face and his heart on his sleeve.  We will truly miss him.

Ted touched our family beyond words. Karen and I truly will miss our friend. He was a fellow Dad with a special child with an extra-chromosome of cuteness. Thank you, Ted, for being a friend. We will always cherish our times at the DSI Harvest Party!

We were truly saddened and heart-struck to hear of Ted's passing. I was truly honored to know Ted through my CHRP experience at Holy Spirit of Geist.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the Scofield family. You will be missed buddy.

My sympathies to the family... many great memories of playing football in Ted's "back yard" and Halloween pranks as a kid at St. Charles and Snider High.   Havent' seen him since, but sounds like he was an equally outstanding man and father.   Mick Connors MD

Ted was such a wonderful, kind, creative person. I feel lucky to have known him. My prayers and best wishes are with his family.

Ted will be DEEPLY missed by all that had the pleasure of working with him. His caring, creative soul will be sorely missed. My heartfelt prayers go out to Ben and Ted's family.

I remember the first time I met Ted.  Katie just started dating him.  She brought him to the St. Matthew Gala to work in Closeout!  I thought, "Wow, that's a dedicated guy to spend a Saturday night working at a Gala for people he doesn't know!".  Well, that's the kind of person Ted was.  He was always helping someone else.  I got to know him more over the years as we saw him and Katie at many St. Matthew events. I also shared a Ft. Wayne connection with Ted since he graduated from the high school where my father was principal.  I will miss him dearly.

May the grace of God surround the Scofield family at this time. Ted was an amazing artist and wonderful classmate. The Class of "84" will all miss this incredible man. God Bless.  Karen Schneider

When we think of you, Ted, we will remember your beautiful smile and how your eyes lite up, your devotion to Ben. You were a great advocate for your son and the Down Syndrome community.  We will miss you greatly.  We will continue to pray for your wife, Katie, and your family.  May God continue to provide them comfort and grace during this time difficult time.  God's peace to all.
