Ted was a colorful storyteller, an excellent barbecuer, a passionate sports fan, a generous helper, and a fierce protector of his family.

Carmen I am so sorry to hear about your dad. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sending love to the whole family. This is beautifully written.
Ted Patterson was a good friend of mine. We spent hundreds of hours hunting and fishing over the period of 20 years. We had a lot of good times.
