Bonnie and Family. So sorry to hear of Ted (Pig Pen) passing. Hope all your memories of the past will help you through this difficult time.

We were shocked to learn of Ted’s passing. We remember him as smiling and joking. Sending prayers to Bonnie, Josh and Luke. We remember babysitting the boys one summer when they were young. With sympathy truly. Bessie and Melanie

Very shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of an ol’ friend. First met Ted at Schneider Sound where he sold me my first stereo. Knowing then that we both attended the same church our friendship took off from there. Friday night hockey in Ilderton and slo-pitch baseball all summer long. Ted was always laughing and smiling and was quick with a friendly little dig. A real music buff that introduced me to great music too. Probably playing the drums up in heaven now. Sadly missed. RIP

Ted was the greatest beat keeping drummer I’ve ever know. No drummer I’ve played with since could keep a tempo like Ted did. He was also a great work colleague a meticulous software tester, and a solid contributor to our Quality team. My sincere condolences to Bonnie, Josh and Luke.

Ted will be missed by many. I always enjoyed our chats at Delaware Speedway, where we would talk about the "old days". His replica cars were amazing and I'm honored to have one of his builds. My sincere condolences to his family.
