Shocked to hear this. I did not know he was sick. My sincere condolances to his familly. What a loss !
Ted and I shared some " wine stories" in the many IFATCA conferences we attended all those last years. The first photo posted by Desertgirl , with the smile, the raised fist and the bootle of wine on the foreground also sums it up for me : A true well mannered and spirited man, who loved a fight with management and enjoyed his wine.
We' ll miss you mate...
I will open a good bottle tonight and will raise a toast to you .
