Only yesterday, May 16, I learned of Ted’s passing. I am so sorry. I grew up with Teddy Mac in Delina. He was such a wonderful person. We played all sports whatever the season and he was much better than the rest of us. If we won it was great, but if we lost it was OK too. He never got down on any of us. He lined off a full basketball court on their farm with ashes. We played full court outside. He could hit any kind of shot and just about from the center line – hook shots and all. I am sure that I have not seen Ted for 30 or 40 years, but I will miss him just knowing he is not here. RIP
Becky and family,You are in my thoughts and Prayers..Papa Ted as he was affectionately called will be missed by my great-grands and so many other children y’all have taken care of all these years!! Love you Becky and family!! Love, Judy Stafford
