Dearest Mary and Family,

I was so saddened to read of Ted's passing. He was always the consummate gentleman and a fine example to those fortunate enough to be around him. My six years working for Greek families in Europe was made culturally richer as I knew and loved all things Greek.

My wife and five year old twins are ensuring that Ted, you and your family are all remembered and supported in our prayers. We spend most of our year in Indonesia since 2011, and soon I will take them all to Greece so that they know and love the countless joys and wonders of Hellas that Ted and you helped foster in me.

God bless and keep you and hold Ted in peace.

Always,

The Rose Family

in honor of Theodore .

Our deepest condolences to Mary and to the family. We are so sorry to hear of Ted's passing. He was a fine man, a true gentleman in every respect. I had the honour of working with Ted on early Canadian test events at AUTEC, and on the NATO FORACS project, and enjoyed your hospitality at home in West Palm Beach.
Rest in Peace.

Ted A blessed thousands of “AUTECnics” throughout the years on Andros Island and West Palm Beach. Not only was he a superb manager, but his kindness was a guiding light. We in the island even got to enjoy a taste of the Greek Festival when he brought all the young dancers to The Bahamas. What a treat! Then he and Mary hosted us in their home in Florida. When I was a young Navy Commander of AUTEC, I once flew to Newport, Rhode Island and was summoned by the flight crew to come to the cockpit from the back of the plane. They told me a nice gentleman requested I be seated next to him in First Class. That frequent flier was Ted A. Always thinking of others.

Dear Aunt Mary,

I am sincerely sorry. Uncle Ted was a true gem and gentleman, and you two were a loving and beautiful team. I saw him last when he was in Louisville for mom's service; they have been reunited. I have many fond memories, but the three that have stuck with me most over the years are when I came to Florida to visit Uncle Ted, Demetri, and you and Louisville won the national championship in college basketball while I was there. The second was when Mom and I came to visit you two and Uncle Ted asked us to go to Andros Island. That excursion was amazing from start to finish. The third was when Ernie, our kids and I came to your house and Uncle Ted had us fishing off your dock. Everyone caught a fish but Ernie, so Uncle Ted strung one on the line so we could get a picture. We are miles apart but the memories are vibrant. Memory eternal. With love,

Pixy
