I've known Ted since 1965. Great guy and I will miss him a lot. I have and will continue to use his crusts at Southside. Best crusts anywhere. My condolences to his family - Posted by: Chef Ken Hooper (friend ) on: Nov 02, 2016

I remember working at Niakawa Pizza in St. Norbert with Giorgo back in the day. Theodore would often stop by to check in on us and whenever he did, that was always the highlight of the day. His presence always brightened up the room and he'd always make Giorgo and I laugh. He was a true OG & I know he will forever be missed. (Especially his smile) Rest in Paradise my good friend. - Posted by: Tang Namphengsone (Friend) on: Oct 20, 2016

We remember what a wonderful man Ted was from his early years at Niakwa Pizza on Archibald. Living in Niakwa Park, we would sneak down for Ted's hamburgers every time my dad had to head out of town on business. Ted was always so friendly and welcoming to his customers. His work ethic was evident. My mom, Phyllis, remembers heading to Grand Forks many years ago, only realizing when she was on her way that she had forgotten her American money. Lo and behold, she saw Ted's other location and stopped in. After explaining her predicament, Ted happily lent her some American funds, no questions asked. This made such an impact on her that my mom, even 40 or so years later, has never forgotten Ted's kindness and willingness to help. Our condolences on your loss. - Posted by: Phyllis Zlotnick and Tracy Zlotnick-Armstrong (Neighborhood customers) on: Oct 16, 2016

Always a smile, always "do you want coffee". Talk your ear off but in an interesting way. Talked about his family while at the same time..worked the next deal. Was always interested in what you were up to..a good listener. RIP Ted - Posted by: Bill lopuck (Friend) on: Oct 16, 2016
