Teddy was my cousin and we all grew up together…. Eddy and Teddy together were always funny and loved to tease. Ted loved animals and most of all he loved his grandmother who loved and excepted him, little scoundrel that he was. He loved to play jokes and tried to stay on track…something he struggled with his entire life. He was a true Butte guy. I remember creeping around our aunt Afton’s strawberry patch stealing strawberries thinking we were so smart….while she watched us through her window. ….hiding from his mother and jumping out scaring her…and his crazy grin when he saw you. I am sure he had a great welcoming from his grandma, aunts’ and uncle and is smiling and cracking jokes.

Ted and I were longtime friends. I will miss him. I will miss seeing him around Butte and our little informal meetings. I was sad to hear of his passing. My heart told me that he is at rest now. He is in no more pain or suffering. Goodbye Teddy rest in peace buddy. I’ll see you again. I’m sure. My condolences to his family and friends.
