Sharon & family...
I am so very saddened to hear of Ted's passing. We were both part of the class of '59 at SCI and I knew him as a wonderful high school friend. Although we only crossed paths a few times over the many years since I was always aware of his many successes and accomplishments. I pass along my deepest sympathies at this most difficult time. Rest well my friend.....

To Sharon and the boys, I am so saddened by the news of Ted's passing. Ted was a truly larger than life kind of man. I owe him a lot as he gave me my start on a long and fulfilling career. I ended up thousands of miles away from Selkirk, but when I'm in town to visit family and friends, I always drive by the machine shop and shipyard to show people and more importantly, remind myself, where I came from. I hope you can find some solace in knowing that Ted played an important role in many many lives. Len Gerylo

Sharon, Teddy & family,
I wanted to express my sincere and deepest sympathies during this time.
Ted was my first employer away from the family business, during and after I graduated from high school, and he helped me immensely. He solidified the beliefs that my family instilled in me that anything was possible. I always remembered the first time that Ted had asked me to get something for him ASAP and I had to ask a coworker, what that meant, or when he had to explain the ASSUME philosophy. I was always amazed when I talked to my mother on the phone over the years, she would tell me that she had run into Ted or yourself and that you always asked what I was up to. I have great memories of the eight years that I worked for him and as I write this, a smile comes over me.
It was during this time that I heard about this wonderful Hawaiian island of Maui and fast forward thirty years and this is where I am retired and now call home.
a na ke aloha e hoʻōla mai i ka ʻeha a hoʻolana aʻe i ka manaʻo.
(may love and compassion heal the hurt and uplift the heart.)
