His research and hobby knowledge will keep him with us. From all of us here RIP.

My God, this is awful.

Since I came onboard this forum, it became clear that Ted was, as they say, a treasure, and in Ted that is no cliche. He truly was. No one fills those shoes in this hobby, ever. I had numerous interactions with Ted, no the least of which was him sending me an article he wrote about the 1953 Bowman set. We also discussed a mutual service duty station, Chanute Air Force Base, even though Ted was Air Force and I was Navy.

Something is forever lost when guys like Ted go. They just don't make people like him in our society anymore.

RIP, sir.

RIP Ted...you were one of the last of a dying breed...we bonded over the years over my disdain for T206(). I had the pleasure of meeting Ted a few times over the years at shows...I certainly enjoyed the time I had with him. Ted will be greatly missed! My thoughts are with his family and friends.

So sad.

This hobby is every bit as much about the people as it is the cards. The hobby has lost one of the great people in it.

As I don't frequent this site as often as I did a number of years ago, I was shocked to take a look today and learn of Ted's passing. What knowledge he had for vintage cards, always looking for that something extra and sharing that with us on the board. I wish his family strength during this difficult time.
