Make every second count. I never saw Ted without a smile on his face. He was such a sweet, gentle man. Mary if there is anything we can do, please let us know. We'll see you on Saturday. We love you. Jennifer and Bryon Baca

To all of Ted's family;
Life is to short, but from what I know about Big Ted is he seemed to live life to it's fullest.
He hauled steel to & from our yard in Hallettsville for many years always with a smile. He had to be proud of his family because always talked about what was happening with his son, daughters, grandchildren & wife. Always had a story to tell.
Sincere condolences.
