I’m sorry to hear of my brother’s passing. However, as the last surviving sibling I was confused as to why none of his siblings were mentioned, even as they have previously passed. They are in order of birth, Nancy DeLibertis (Manfred), Lorraine Carlile, Eva Marie Gregoire, Tiara Bousbounis, and myself Cynthia St.Pierre (Charles). He left many neices and nephews. RIP

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with your parents , and later with just your dad after your mom passed, for app 10 years or so, advising and managing the account at PaineWebber, where I was a broker. It was a successful account, and as it happens, Ted and I became friends. I remember him as a true gentleman and very kind. I retired a few years ago, and lost contact. Am glad that he lived to a fine old age, and hope his health was good. I am sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Jim Faucher
