Condolences

  1. My condolences to Ted’s family and my highest respect to his memory. I want to recall his early career days at Texas Instruments when he worked with me on the early Corvus and Shrike missile programs…many TIers will remember Ted’s significant contributions to these pioneering guided missile programs at a time when these things were being done for the very first time. The Shrike successor, HARM, is still in service with the U.S. Armed forces some 45 years later. I was not highlly familiar with later phases of Ted’s career, but I do know that his work was always held in highest regard, as I hold his memory in highest regard.

  5. We thought of each other as best friends and that is my remembrance of Ted. I think of him daily as my travels take me past his apartment and the new Richardson Texas Instruments building.
    Go with God, and go with my love.
