Although I didn't personally know Ted, I did
business with him, and he was a great, knowledgeable guy.? He,
like a lot of us, will be greatly missed when we are gone... I
have a 38 yr old, EE, working in my shop and it is scary as hell
to think of him being a "go to guy" for our shop, not today, not
tomorrow, or any other day.? I feel for our industry and our
county.

Sad news- Ted was a fixture
of the industry, especially here in the Chicago area. I always
enjoyed my visits with him.
73's OM.

It

Those
of us in the ham and radio communications community
remember him for his days at SPECTRONICS and later MDM
radio. Ted was the ¡°go to guy¡± for almost all the hard
to find 2-way and repeater parts in the Chicago area
(and maybe the country). His company motto was ¡° if
it¡¯s in stock, we¡¯ve got it¡±
?
I
knew Ted personally for quite a number of years, and
he was the guy that was willing to help anyone any
time with an electronic problem. Ted ¡°officially¡±
retired from the business about 5 years ago, but some
of us knew he still had information to share, and
occasionally a few VERY obscure parts!

Ted
will be greatly missed by the electronics community as
a whole and me personally (as my adopted uncle).
