Thank you again for allowing me to share just a short time in your life. I love you and will always remember the memories.

Ted,.

a special friend to me and so many.
You we're a great historian preservationist and storyteller.
You were always so proud of your family.your children and your grandchildren and I enjoyed hearing about their adventures.
    I enjoyed meeting you for lunch in Orange County at Knott's Berry Farm and also hearing about your stories of your career at Disneyland
     I will miss our many discussions on the phone and hearing about your life and your wisdom.
  Great memories!

To the Family of Ted..
I knew ted for many years and enjoyed his company as one of my Dealers in the Postcard World. Ted was always a fun and. an interesting man, who brought a lot of interesting Ephemera to the shows..I know he will be missed by many who knew him. Cindy I hope you're doing well.

Dad, I remember this day, we were having a gathering at my house. YOU  always showed up no matter what, to make sure you were  surrounded with Family because that’s what you loved!!! Always asking me  “did you invite everyone?” Don’t leave anyone out you would say, Because that’s who you were. You didn’t want to leave anyone out!  You would, tell your stories and I can still see you laughing as you’re telling the story!! 
You hugged each, and every one of us, or shook hands with someone you didn’t know. You always made sure everyone was loved and cared for by your beautiful heart and kindness. You were definitely a man that everyone respected! 

Dad,  there is no more poking and prodding from the doctors. You can now rest in peace with our Jesus Christ and enjoy your family and friends in heaven 🩵! As tears roll down my face, I’m missing you so very much,  lots of hugs  from your loving daughter, Cindy

Ted was my supervisor at Disneyland Security when I was in the scheduling office. The best supervisor I ever had.
