Many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who loved him very much and who he loved very much.

Ted was always the life of the party; he loved to make people laugh, and to see people happy.   He loved to cook, to make new things, and to make  sure everyone was eating.

"See  you on the other side Vern."
