I am a distance relative during family research. My grandfather was James E Spuller from Fort Wayne. I am sorry for your loss.

I remember GP always being so positive and happy.  When I come to visit I would be so excited and thrilled because I was excited to see GP and GiGi.

Thank you Grandpa Ted for welcoming me into your family!  I see your humor and kindness in Ryan all the time.  I remember leaving Cape Cod, after having Sawyer, and we hugged and you said “One more! Have one more”. I said no way in the politest way ever, and within that year, Spencer came along.! You are always in our prayers and may you Rest In Peace! 

We know two heavenly angels that are so happy to embrace their buddy, Ted, again!  Our parents, PAT & PATTY BAILEY, considered Ted & Marion as two of their most treasured life-long friends.  After EVERY visit with them, when we'd ask how it went, they would just smile and say how much they just laughed and laughed and had the best time.  ALWAYS.  It was a very special friendship, and deep love, that all four had for each other.  Rest in peace, Ted, and our prayers go out to Marion and all of the Spullers.

     We will remember Ted with great fondness and love.  He was a kind and gentle soul with the best sense of humor.  His love and dedication to Marion and his family is to be admired.
    One recent memory we have is  watching Ted pass Marion in her  chair and giving her a “Hi Five.”
     Our hearts our sadden by his passing but happy that we were included in his circle of friends.

My dad was my hero, idol and inspiration. He welcomed all to the family with open arms. He had a funny dry sense of humor and loved having a good time. He loved and adored my mother very much, treating her like a queen. 
He was always loving and will always be loved.

My uncle Ted as I remember him was a party starter. When he walked in a room, the party was on. I know I am not supposed to pick favorites, but without question, Ted was my favorite uncle (and we had a lot of uncles in the Reith clan).  Besides his incredible sense of humor, one memory that will last forever is when us Reith boys were sleeping with our cousins in the Spuller basement and hearing uncle Ted snoring like a thunderstorm upstairs. I don't know how aunt Marion could ever get a good night's sleep. I mean to tell you that the walls shook when Ted snored. Ted was a gentle, caring soul and he will never be forgotten. I love you uncle Ted.

Thinking of my dad, the phrase "unconditional love" comes to mind.  He was not one to use the word love often yet I know it was always there.  He was so proud of all four of his children and how we all turned out.  Later, he was blessed with 10 wonderful grand children who he asked about all of the time.  We all will miss him and think of him often with love, admiration, and thanks to all he has given us.

I love my Uncle Ted.  He had such a kind, endearing and engaging personality and a stellar sense of humor.  Thoughts of him always have and always will bring a smile.  

I will always remember my grandpa as one of the most genuinely funny people I know. I always admired his unconditional love and support he had for his wife. He will be greatly missed, but I'll treasure sharing the fond memories I have with loved ones forever. 

He had a glorious sense of humor and an amazing outlook on life. My Siblings and I, his nieces and nephews refer to him as Our Prince of an Uncle.  Uncle (Wonderful) Ted.

Ted was one of the best brothers-in-law I could have asked for.  A real gentleman, quick witted, and always a class act.  Sure hope they have great golf courses in Heaven so he can shine there as well.   He will be GREATLY missed.

My Grandpa was an incredible man who lived a long, great life.  Only knowing him in his later life, I can only image how he was in his younger years.  It was always the highlight of the year making the trip down to Florida with my family of 7 in the car to visit him and our Grandma.  I will forever remember the time Grandpa and I went to Kennedy Space Center.  He was in great health and able to keep up with his young grandson.  He will be missed by all.

My dad was such a wonderful, funny, kind person. A real gentleman. He was my hero.  I will miss him everyday.

Ted was a wonderful father-in-law, welcoming me and my daughters to the family many years ago. He was a true icon of a family man and set an example for all of us to follow. We will miss his stories and  great smile.
