Teddy was a good friend and I’m sorry I missed this I worked with him for years at the incinerator. He will always be remembered!

I did not know Uncle Ted for that long, but to me, that was the best quality about him; you didn't need to know him long to feel his warmth. What I did learn of him in a short time is he was a very kind heart-hearted, genuinely good man. I also learned that he enjoyed making others laugh and enjoyed laughing with them. His ability to live life for all of the little things, mostly laughter, is inspiring. The world could definitely use more Uncle Ted's; it is no doubt that heaven gained one of the best. You will be greatly missed. Prayers, thoughts, hugs and kisses.

I remember the Monopoly games Liz and I would play with you and we "tricked" you into landing on Boardwalk, all of the times camping and going to the beach, all of the backyard campfires...the list goes on. You will be missed.

Sending our deepest condolences to Liz, TJ and Daniel, Debbie and my dearest Aunt Ella. Our heart goes out to the entire family. Ted knew me since the day I was born. He was a fun loving guy and very funny! I remember he and Liz always laughing! And I loved that he dressed up as Santa Claus every Christmas! I believe it started when his first nephew, Anthony Spagnuolo was born. He really loved kids! He will be missed by all who knew him. Rest in Peace Ted. With love, Ellen and Troy Spencer, Sarasota, FL

For years I would always see Ted go by walking one or two dogs. He always had a smile and either a wave or a genuinely happy hello. He always made me think of a big, cuddly teddy bear. Rest in the Lord's peace Ted. You are loved and will be sorely missed.

When i think of my Uncle Ted, Only happy thoughts flood my head..

Iceman is what you hood vent said. But 10mph or less is what the speedometer read..

Made all who met you smile, loved your sense of style..

Aluminum can airplanes, & those street signs, your road runner sticker,

your love of hot dogs, and you dressing up as Santa of course..

Trips to the apple orchard, pop-up tents are things that remind me of you..

Like your red, white, and BLUE, swim shorts, or the times you showed up to court,

You always supported me, still got the John Lennon CD,

A working class hero is something to be.

You claimed your love in the hearts of everyone,

All lost some, A grandpa, husband, father, brother, or son,

But I lost my uncle fun..

With your Laurel & Hardy math problem,

we can agree that heaven

just got A GREAT ONE.

We will miss all the times you showed up to our house on your "hog". You made us all laugh. The kids will miss their favorite Santa. Don't worry Uncle Ted, we'll give the kids a kiss for you.

The world lost a great one. My boys will always remember you as santa but ill never forget the great times we had apple picking and camping with you and Aunt Liz. Truly some great memories. Ill never be able to drive in a car going less than 15 mph and not smile thinking about you. Time to rest now. You will be forever in our thoughts. Say hello to grandpa for us!!
