As one of the folks that was fortunate enough to know Ted, play golf with him and enjoy his good company, I am saddened to learn of his passing. He has been an inspiration to many of the golfers in the senior league at Stone Creek (Griffins Greens) and was a valued member of any foursome that he played with. We have missed him this season. May he rest in peace and we extend condolences to his family.
