Thank you, Ted, for being you! Our friendship was, “one of a kind”, built genuinely and as time withstood became kinship. As, I am honored you considered our friendship valuable enough to say I was “like” a daughter to you.
THANK YOU, FOR BEING HERE FOR ME, WHEN I NEEDED SOMEONE THE MOST! Your, opinionated advise will never be forgotten. Nor, will the many late night talks we shared. Thank you so much, for everything! I already miss you more than words can describe. In my heart, forever, always!
Love You Always Ted,
Ash

Peace becomes you. For you sure as hell didn’t take any or give any quarter to yourself or others. I can say without any hesitance that you walked the walk and took no prisoners. For all the experiences good bad and ugly all I can say to a much admired cousin and real world man of the world you could run with the best, shoot out the footlights, and steal off with Miss Kitty all in the stoke of midnight. The world is a much safer place now that you have gone. I will miss the likes of you and your wilder days will always be remembered and cherished. It’s came to soon and never have we enough time to embellish the old days and to carve out some new.. Givem Hell and if you are were 50 I’ll be 27 again this year.

My dearest Peter,
It has been one year and 30 minutes since the last time I saw you. Our relationship was long lasting. I remember the first time I saw you. And the first time I had to say goodbye. But then you told me ” I would never have to say goodbye ,Just see you later”.So that’s what we did for the next 35 years. This was the longest year & 45 minutes that I’ve spent during that 35 years. When we talked we would tell each other of our adventures, usually laughing , sometimes crying!
You always encourage me to live life to the fullest. You were always there to say ,Take that step, You deserve it, life is short, make the best of it. I will tell you this year, I had many things to say to you! I think I waited for the phone to ring, it didn’t.
I could talk ,all night telling you about this year. But I think I will Just Tell you What you have missed. Your grandkids talk about you often, The nicknames you gave them, They still call each other. Your favoriååte color was yellow You were famous for duct tape If you gave somebody a nickname It was because you love them. And they could get away with anything As long as they didn’t tell Grandma LOL
I say my prayers, read the word, try to live right so I dont have to say goodby. “Just see you later”. Love Wendy aka Jewell

Ok it’s been two years today, and I still miss you terrible! So does D-Bob (Destiny) seems she got more of your personality then mine. She still holds her head up no matter what is going on. She pesters everbody and no matter how mad that they get, she loves doing it. She doesn’t open up and talk about anything , so much like you. Soft heart but head hard!!! The time passes but memories don’t ❤️ I know you told me to be happy and go on with my life when you were gone. But baby you got some big shoes to fill, haven’t dated yet, like I said you have some big shoes and not talking about your SZ 12s LOL Everybody has a story to tell when your name comes up, usually about duct tape. I have to be happy that you are not here, because you are there! No more pain in body or soul. I wish I could tell the boys how much you loved them how deep you felt love. That you were so ashamed of feeling such deep hurt that you couldn’t deal with seeing them, including Samuel. How many times you kicked yourself for not being there for them😢the tears of lonleness you felt when you thought of them. How you wanted to be a grandpa but didn’t feel like you had anything to offer them. How much love he offered mine trying to make up for it! And how scared you were of not being forgiven for the mistakes you made. How you studied the word day in, day out the last years of your life. Trying to make sure you got it straight before it was to late🙏🏻💔😢❤️🙏🏻

Pops, I can’t believe you’ve been gone 5 years. I could swear I just heard you hollering from my couch, demanding that I get up and make you a sandwich. Lol.
Oh how I wish that were true. (I’d give anything to make you one more sandwich. I’d even put extra bacon on it. Cause I love you that much!)
Miss you lots old man! Thanks for always having my back.

Cousin Teddy,
Thank you for all.
As the Jimmy Buffet song says “Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late. The cannons don’t thunder, there’s nothing to plunder. I’m an over forty victim of fate. Arriving too late, arriving to late…..” I believe Jimmy Buffett song, A Pirate Looks at Forty, summed it up pretty well for you. You always had my back through think and thin without question. Riding with you was “One Hell Of A Ride!” Most civilized people will never experience anything like your life experiences. They will only get to vicariously live through some adventuresome cowboy character in a movie.
See ya on the other side,
Cousin Kelly

Missing so many of my “real” friends these days. Nobody real, nobody to dare understand. Starting to feel like I’ve been left behind. Miss our late night, real life conversations that we shared. Thank you for caring and being there for me, as a friend, when I truly need a safe place to be, off the main thoroughfare!

Ted,
I think I only met you once or twice. I was so little I don’t really remember you. Sometimes I think about you and go read your wild court records. You lead an interesting life, that’s for sure. That being said, I heard you liked to write. I like to write, maybe I got that from you. I will always wonder what it would have been like to have you there. It’s weird to miss someone you never knew.
Have fun drinking with the devil, gramps-I know you’re raising hell down there.
