I loved his stories, the way he always had that grin on his face and a joke to tell. He will be missed dearly by all of us. His sweet soul and spirit will always live on.
The first time I met Papa Ted was during the Christmas 🎄 holidays of 2009 at the infamous Twin Peaks in Lewisville, TX. He was a character then and a character up to the last time I saw him. He never failed to put a smile on your face or make someone laugh. I know you are in heaven smiling down. Until we meet again.
Love,
Grandson in law (Noel)
