Sorry for the loss of an old friend and praying strength for his family. I am also a 59 grad and Ted and Jim provided much entertainlment and joy to our class and high school. His contribution to the music scene in Kalamazoo is very special and his children, grandchildren and many friends can be so proud of his accomplishments and legacy. RIP, Ted. You are now a troubadour in a new and wonderful place!
