During time of family sharing around Thanksgiving, Ted wrote this: I am thankful to have a smart, caring and loving wife. Also, four children that are very special in their own way. That I brag about all the time to anyone that will listen. I could not have picked better children if I had tried. They will never know how much they mean to me. If I would go tomorrow, I would not ask God for anything, because he has gave me my precious gift, “My Family”.
