I will miss you Buddy! Sing on with the Angels. RIP!

Just heard of Ted's passing. My heart is heavy for your family, and I will keep all of the Donohoue family in my prayers. I have fun memories of his band when I was in High School, and being able to brag that I knew him.
I pray the Lord helps you cope with your loss, and brings you peace.

I did not know Ted personally, but came to enjoy and appreciate his musical ability and contribution.  I have been a BSI follower for many years, and found an obvious chemistry and respect in the group.  I thank his family for sharing him with the public for so long.

Prayers go out to the family during this difficult time.  Ted was a great man and AWESOME musician.  Enjoyed hearing him play many times at Surburban Bowl!  Sadly missed!

Dear family of Ted..especially Karen.   So sorry for the loss of this sweet and talented man.. I have fun memories of his band as a teenager practicing on Cravigview Ct.  Karen and I had on our white go go boots and yardstick as guitars and would   stand on milk boxes dancing to his music.  God bless you all.  He is with Ruth and Big Ted and they are watching over you all.  Hugs.

I and my wife were so shocked to hear of Ted's passing. Ted was the nicest person to be around and was one of the best musicians I have ever heard. He will be missed by all. Our condolences to Ted's family and we are sorry for you loss,

Trevor and Troy we are so sorry for the loss of your father.  Our heart goes out to you. We will be praying for you and your family.

We were heartbroken and shocked to hear of Ted's sudden passing. He was such a wonderful singer and musician, but more importantly a wonderful human being.  We have so many fond memories of Ted with BSI as well as his solo performances. We will miss his never absent smile and his calming presence; he will be missed dearly. Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to Jo and the entire Donohoue family.  May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I was shocked & saddened to hear of Ted's passing.  My husband (who passed in 2012) & I thoroughly enjoyed dancing to BSI & attended several of their wonderful New Years Eve events.  I know he will be missed by many people.  He was a very talented musician.  My condolences to his family & BSI band mates.

prayers to the family and blue stone ivory guys.  he will be greatly missed.

Heartbroken and shocked.  Ted was such a wonderful person and will be missed dearly by all he came in contact with.  Prayers and deepest condolences go out to Jo, Ted, Shawn, Trevor, the entire Donohoue family and all the hearts he touched.  So many fond memories from behind the console at the BSI gigs, at the bowling lanes and of course, all the picnics and get-togethers.  I'm sure your dad is happy to see you and you can now both watch Reds baseball and Moeller football games every season.  Please watch over all of us, especially Ava and Evan.  We love you and miss you!  Rest in peace my friend!

This gentleman was a class musician and artist. His voice and presence on stage were compelling. Ted will be missed. BSI keep trucking. Ted was there to listen when he was sidelined for a while. He's just listening from a different place now.

Ted will be greatly missed by his Middletown Moose family, we enjoyed his music every Wednesday for a few years. I personally considered him a good friend and will miss him. Prayers to you JO and his entire family and BSI. The music industry has lost a great talent.

Rod Yarber and the Middletown Moose

I only met Ted a short time ago through music at The Moose, but he touched my heart and soul in a way I can't explain! He never failed to make a point to make me feel special whenever he saw me and even got down on one knee beside my wheelchair at the Moose to serenade me at BSI's last performance...a moment I'll never forget! He lit up a room when he was in it and I know he will make the Heavenly choir sound even sweeter for being a part if it! Ted will be forever missed by all who knew him and were touched by his sweetness and talent! RIP Ted!

so sorry for your loss our prayers and thought are with you today he will be missed by all who know him.    the other TED

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ted's family and friends.  May God's peace fill your hearts.

Words can't express the loss of our dear friend, Ted. He was more than MY favorite local singer, he was my friend. He took the time to sing at our wedding. Here's to you - my dear friend, I TIP my hat to YOU -  the Keeper of the Stars to watch and guide over you and your family forever.  Love Carol.

TED - My best friend...I will miss you OMG.  What a great MAN you were. A true friend - who I really enjoyed talkin' music and sports with.
