I knew Ted from Consulate. He worked for me the past couple of years and I am glad he did. He made my life all around easier and my work life more fun.
I remember the last time we went to lunch when he was still healthy. He ordered 3 lunches in Altamonte. I tell people to celebrate Ted by doing just that - ordering 3 lunches.
I also remember when he first noticed something was wrong. He was struggling to eat 🙁
I have quite a few "Ted" stories but I will share just one. It has to do with the nickname I had for him.
He use to say, "You can't have Theodore without The Odor." He was basically saying The Odor was in his name. So I adopted "The Odor" and "Odor Man" as his nickname.
I would call him and say, "How is The Odor." Not implying he smelled but how he was doing in general. I am not sure he ever got it though...
Miss him.
