My condolences to Teddy's family. I first met Teddy when my mother Clara brought us to Chicago from Oakland, CA. I must have been about 10 yrs. old. It was probably the year 1967, before the Chicago riot. I'll never forget how handsome he was and how very kind he was to me and my siblings. And that has been my memory of my beloved cousin.  Ken and I would like to extend our heartfelt sorrow to the family.

Brenda, I wish I had words to lighten your agony but sometimes words are just not enough. I worked with Ted for many years, and met you in 1993 when you two came to my wedding; Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.

You are in my thoughts and prayers., Juanita McEwen, HUD
