Parkinson's and dementia took him down. My dad's little brother, I was close with him as we shared the same first and last names. He got calls from girl's in high school who were looking for me because his name was in the phone book. My aunt has some grate stories there. He was a gearhead, a sports nut and a ladies man. We got along famously. But honestly, he's been gone for about three years now. The whole family considers it a blessing as his suffering has ended. A toast to Uncle Ted.
