So sorry to hear about Ted
He was a great person. He was a great teacher at Lawrence High as a auto shop teacher. He was a good friend of my mom and dad Charles and Janet Mills . He will be greatly missed.
I’m so sorry to hear about this. He was such a great teacher and mentor for two of my boys in Auto Tech class. I had the the utmost respect for Ted, he was a man who didn’t play games. Right was right and wrong was wrong and it didn’t matter if it hurt your feelings. God speed brother
Loved his stories. When he would get together with my husband Dan and other old timers, the stories would have you in stitches. Rest In Peace Ted. You will be missed.
We love you and you will be greatly missed by all who knew you. RIP my friend!
My prayers go out to Ted’s family. He was a great person, fun to be around. He knew my parents Wayne and Loretts Unfred.

So sorry to hear the news . Ted touched so many young men at LHS , he help make it a special place . Great teacher even better man .
I am so sad to hear about Ted’s passing. I am absolutely brokenhearted. He was a good friend for many years, and some of my best memories were made with Ted. He had a heart of gold, and was a character like no other. I drove by the house last month to say hello, but decided I shouldn’t stop by unannounced. I’m so sorry that I didn’t. I have so many things I still want to say to you, Ted, and so many places I want to go with you. RIP, my friend. You were one of a kind, and I’ll never forget you. Condolences to Rose and James and Shane and the rest of the family. You got to spend a lifetime with one of the best. Godspeed, Ted. We will meet again one day…
condolences to family. RIP Ted.
Jamie and Shane I am so sorry for your loss. I still remember your dad from when he was a police officer. I’m sure Lloyd will be meeting him and they will probably be getting in all kinds of things. Sending you both thoughts of healing.

Jami, Gail, and Shane. I am so saddened to hear of Teds’ passing which I just learned of today. He was a great guy with a big heart. I remember him being patient enough to put up with Jami and me growing up as kids and into adulthood – not an easy task by any means. He taught us to bird hunt on took us on hunts for quail and pheasant out at the farm in Vinland and several places in central Kansas which are such good and fond memories. He had a quick wit which could always make us laugh and he got a few good laughs out of Jami and me at times, particularly when we were trying to be mechanics and tended to mess most of our projects up. Jami, Gail, and Shane. My prayers are with you, family, and Ted. Ted, thank you for helping us grow up and all the memories. May you rest in peace.
Rose and Family,
I extend my thoughts and prayers to all of you. I was in disbelief when I heard the news of Ted’s passing. May all of you be blessed by all the great memories he left with each of you. He was such a great person who would put everyone else first before himself. He never knew a stranger.
May God bless each of you during this time of sorrow. May God replace the sorrow with many wonderful memories of Ted in the coming days.
Mr Crady was my teacher for 4 years at LHS. He retired the same year I graduated. I feel fortunate to have had such a great teacher. He was the best! I’ll always keep his good advice of the “KISS” method in mind.
Ted was a good guy and will be missed. Prayers to his family.
RIP Ted my thoughts and prayers are with your family. Larry Black class of 65
My heart goes out to the family. Ted always treated me with kindness and respect. I pray that you each find comfort in the wonderful memories each one of you have with this great man . I’m sorry for the loss.
So the fraternity of motorcycle enthusiasts have lost another brother. He will be missed, but not forgotten. May God’s Holy Spirit strengthen his loved ones.
My car has not run the same since Ted left LHS. He was so quick to offer advice and kept more than one of our family cars running. I miss his wit and sarcastic grins. We still haven’t found anyone to assume his job of sneaking in through the back door, late to faculty meetings, with the newspaper that he would gladly share. He was a great one! Miss you, Ted!
Rest in peace Ted, you will be missed by many. Goodbye to a good friend that loved cars and motorcycles.
We are so sorry for your the lose of your love one. We have known Ted for many years and we sure enjoyed seeing him and talking with him. He was a wonderful super person. We will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Crady Family, so sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family. Lana Mueller-Davis
