May our condolences bring you comfort and may our prayers ease the pain of your loss. Teddy will truly be missed for he was a genuine and lovely person. After his wife passed and Thanksgiving was approaching, we invited him to dinner with us and he never forgot that. He was a very thankful and honest man. We always talked at fellowship hour and caught up with his trips to Greece. Remembering his wonderful and gentle soul will forever remain in our hearts. May he rest in peace!

Please accept my condolences. Teddy was a great hunting partner on Saturdays when we bird hunted at the club. We have missed him the past couple of years. His friendship and constant smile will be fondly remember. We also loved his rice pudding.

Our love & deepest condolences to Teddy’s family. We are so saddened to hear of his passing. Teddy was a wonderful man who will be forever remembered for his kind & gentle spirit. Every time we saw him, he had a smile on his face. He was so very proud of his family & his heritage and he had such a love of life. We will always remember our trip to Greece and visiting Teddy in his “xorio”…he enjoyed telling our sons about his village and he emphasized to them to have pride in their Greek heritage. More recently, he helped our son & his fiancé find their first home…he took such great care in helping them find the perfect one. Teddy will be fondly remembered and greatly missed! May God rest his soul and May his memory be forever eternal. We will miss you Teddy…rest in peace

My deepest condolences to Teddy's family. I am so saddened by the news of his passing. Just recently I was thinking about Teddy and wondering when I'd see him next. Teddy and I bonded over our Spartan connection. When he heard that my sons attended Michigan State University and were Spartans, he instantly took an interest in them and shared with us his proud Spartan heritage. He wanted to make sure the boys took pride in being MSU Spartans since the real Spartans were Greek warriors. Every time I saw Teddy at church, he'd bring me a bottle of his olive oil from Sparta and would also bring bottles for me to give to the boys in college so they could show their friends something that comes from Sparta. He always had that infectious smile on his face and was so kind to me and my family. When we brought him a Michigan State Spartan t-shirt and hat back from college, he was delighted and said that he wouldn't wear them but would donate them to the museum in Sparta! Teddy, you are the true Spartan and whenever we cheer Go Green, we will think of you. May God rest your soul.
