It was my good fortune to meet Ted last year, at esshup's place. While I already knew that his depth of knowledge and grasp of aeration was second to none, I soon learned that he was also a heck of a nice guy, as well as a pleasure to talk with. By the time early evening had rolled around, I was feeling right at home due in no small part to his efforts.
A generous spirit, a quick smile, and a great sense of humor to boot.
My most sincere condolences to his family.
