My dearest Ted,
Please know that I miss you each and every day. The Sinners shows just aren’t the same without you. And Angelina’s pizza just doesn’t taste the same.
Love and light,
Sheera
I first met Ted and his father when I sold their 2-story home on Monticello so that Bernard could be situated on 1 floor in the mobile home I found for them in Pheasant Ridge. After his father’s death, I talked many hours to Ted about following his dreams and starting a new life in Las Vegas. When he was out there, he would email me every so often with 5-7 paragraphs detailing the activities he was enjoying. I remember his excitement on New Years Eve and his birthday, how he was playing in poker tournaments, meeting interesting people and celebrities, and when he first met "his good friend Brett Muscat of the Sin City Sinners". I remember one email he was so excited to offer me a picture from someone’s iphone or an autograph or to let me talk to these celebrities he was hanging out with and invited me and my family to come out and stay with him. Unfortunately we didn’t get out there yet but were planning to go this summer and surprise him. He will be missed. He was a very nice man.
Fond memories of Teddy…from kick the can, to poker and pick up basketball games. Hadn’t seen him in years as I live out of town, but thoughts always put a smile on my face.
