Ted, you were more than an uncle to Jerry F. Davis and Michael A. Schade, you helped raise them. You touched so many lives in such a positive way that you are forever etched in our hearts. Even when you were feeling bad you rallied to help your neighbors and friends. You brought out the best in all of us, we miss you so much, T-Bear. Keep looking out for us, we still need you.
