I would always love to see you when you walked into the flower shop, you brought such a light!
When we giggled and broke into song was my true favorite. You will be forever missed.

Ted was a national treasure. There are no words to express his wonderful and important he was to me and to many others. I can still hear him say "that's big" with eyes that twinkled as he spoke. His light will shine forever in my heart.

Dear Ted, I sincerely appreciate having had you in my life. You were an exceptional master of listening and then at getting people to experience, to find what was inside, and then to get us to express it to our souls. Rolf

Ted was a ray of sunshine in a world that sometimes felt dark and dreary. His infectious smile and positive energy could brighten even the gloomiest of days. But what truly set Ted apart was his unwavering dedication to helping others.

Ted was always there, ready to offer his support. He believed that everyone had the potential to achieve greatness, and he would stop at nothing to help people. Helping others was his fuel!

Ted had a unique ability to see the best in people, even when they couldn't see it in themselves. He would encourage, uplift, and empower them to reach for their dreams, reminding them of their worth and their capabilities. He was a catalyst for positive change, inspiring those around him to believe in their own potential.

But Ted wasn't just a cheerleader for others; he also lived by example. He fearlessly pursued his own dreams, never letting fear or doubt hold him back. His courage was contagious, and those who knew him couldn't help but be inspired to chase after their own passions.

In a world that often promoted competition and self-interest, Ted was a breath of fresh air. He believed in collaboration, in lifting others up instead of tearing them down. He saw the beauty in diversity and embraced the unique strengths and talents that each person possessed.

Ted's genuine heart and authenticity drew people to him like moths to a flame. He was open and honest, never afraid to speak his mind or share his emotions. He created a safe space for others to do the same, fostering deep connections and meaningful relationships. We offer our sincere condolences to Marguerite and the family and let me add the following:
Marguerite was the love of Ted's life, They enjoyed each other and celebrated life together at the highest and deepest level. One look at both of them when they were together was a look of love! May his memory continue to bring peace and light to all of us!

Oh TED,.our world will not be the same without you.
Wise, generous, giving, opinionated yet open-minded, playful, yet deadly serious, incredibly patient, while quietly frustrated, tolerant, and tough at the same time.
Ted has been in our lives for over 52 years. Through personal struggles, emotional growth and set-backs, our marriage, babies, ,he was always there, a part of our life.
Besides always being there for us, and helping us grow in so many ways, he was a dear and delightful friend to share life with. Oddly, we are likely one of the few couples who met and knew all his wives! Ted loved to say he knew us when we were kids,(23 and 25). And we liked to remind him that we knew him when he was NOT the stylish , suave guy that he became when Marguerite came into his life! What fun times we had with Ted and Marguerite..holiday dinners, favorite restaurants, (always chicken on the bone), the opera,martinis,mini vacations. Their love and love of life was inspiring..they found such joy in each other!
There are too many precious memories,we will hold them deeply in our hearts forever.
Ted was often enigmatic,or seemed so. He would say things that you just weren't quite sure you "got". He would tease or be mildly sarcastic,saying things in a way that you would "think" you understood,but you were never quite sure. ..and he loved doing that, because, he wanted To MAKE YOU think..figure things out for yourself. Conversations were often filled with obscure references, cryptic remarks,but..never mean spirited..rather, lovingly pushing you to think,he was always so gently pushing to help you reach your answer!!
We were so blessed to have had Ted in our life..God blessed him with a brilliant mind and a loving heart. We will miss him always. E and G

Marguerite,
Ted was such a light. I am richer for knowing him. I can see him dancing down the aisle at our wedding to a Bob Marley song. I am so grateful that he officiated. I hope he finds Jon in heaven.

With Love,

Oh, our beloved Ted.....my heart and soul are so filled with Ted stories, as we were graced to live down the lane from Ted and Marguerite. Ted taught our boys to chant OMMMMMMMM at Passover, and taught all of us to live with a glimmer, a spark -- a sacred spark -- burning in our eyes, and in our hearts. My favorite Ted story of many many stories was the time dear Ted and Marguerite wandered down to our back garden, after we'd spent a summer planting it with trees and Marguerite-picked perennials. On a crisp end-of-summer night Ted poured forth his prayers on our garden. I'd had at least four or five miscarriages and was told that, despite our deepest hopes, we'd never have another baby. But Ted's blessings proved otherwise. A few months later, at almost 45, I was having a baby. I have always thought in my heart that it was Ted's fertility prayers (allegedly for our garden, but in fact for me!) that made that happen. We named that baby Ted. We loved Reb Ted so dearly. And his memory will forever be a blessing.
