Our heartfelt sorrow at Teddy's passing. He leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him. He was always so full of life and a joy to be around. We will miss him dearly.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. May God comfort them and give them the strength and understanding to go on. May Ted rest in peace with our heavenly father in heaven.

Ted working with you these last 11 years was fun. You were a wonderful friend, like the brother I never had. We teased each other and had so many great laughs. Ted I am going to miss you so very much.

Kasey and Kyle,
You are never far from my thoughts and prayers in this difficult time. It is not easy for any family to lose one of their parents, and you should know that your father was one of the kindest people I have ever known. His passing is a huge loss to you and everyone who knew him, and the only comfort that I am able to provide is that he enriched so many people's lives that he will never be forgotten. I have so many fond memories with your family growing up. He will be sorely missed but those that knew him will know that their lives were enriched by the experience. I am glad that I had the opportunity to know him. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.

My love and thoughts are with my best friend Kasey and her family during this difficult time. Kasey, father, Ted was a wonderful, loving, funny, and considerate man. I have fond memories of Ted while being over at the Gosline home and I considered him to be like my second dad. I know how much he loved his children Kasey and Kyle and he was so proud of them both.
I found this poem that I wanted to share with everyone:
When you feel Lonely
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

Kasey and Kyle your dad will always be with you!

It is with deepest sorrow that I am hearing of Ted's passing. I have known Ted for over 30 years, through business, but also as a friend. We shared many memories as we both were of the same age and both proud to be military brats. Ted was always with a story to tell and a laugh to share. He will be truly missed....

Words cannot express how much I will miss my Uncle Teddy. Whenever I got the chance to visit with him, he would always keep me laughing with a new joke or some story about him and my dad growing up. Time is so fleeting and I wish I could have had so much more of it with Uncle Ted. As fast as we both talked, I'm sure we were at least a day ahead in conversation of the rest of the world. My memories of him are filled with joy and happiness. He was always quick with a hug and a jab at the side. He laughed the loudest and there is definitley a silence now here on Earth. But I know my Uncle Ted is somewhere above, giving God quite the chuckle. My thoughts and prayers are with Kasey and Kyle and all those who loved this wonderful man. May you rest in peace Uncle Teddy. Much love. -Kristin
Ted you were a wonderful father, son, uncle and friend. We had some good and bad times over the years. But more than that we were blessed with two wonderful children. I thank you for that and the good memories. You will be missed and may you rest in peace. God be with you. Pam
