RIP Teddy!

Six years ago we met through this forum and were friends since. It hurts to know that he is gone, but I’m thankful that he is finally at peace. It’s been a roller coaster since I’ve known him of different health issues, but he always kept his spirits high and loved everyone. He was an amazing man and a true friend, he will definitely be missed, and I am thankful to have known him.

Dave, thank you for the updates. I wish there were better news, but we all knew at MOTD that things were going down hill. In a way I think he knew it too, and was determined to make it to Fontana to see his friends one last time.

God Speed Brother, you’ll always be in my heart.

May the Road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the warm sun shine on your face,
And the soft rain fall on your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hands.
And may you be three days in heaven before the devil knows you’re dead.

 

My wife is a nine year breast cancer survivor. She is so VERY grateful for the shop towels Teddy has sent us and uses them all...even washing them so she can use them again. She knows the power of prayer, as she knows that this, as well as the good thoughts from people she never met before, helped her through the surgery, chemo and post exams. She is now cancer free and prays as do I, that Teddy will recover and get back behind the wheel for more MINI adventures.

 

My wife is also a long term breast cancer survivor, so I know of what wmwny writes. However.....lung cancer took my mom, and my understanding is that like pancreatic cancer - it's not survivable. So, my best wishes and hopes for Teddy to have the best life that he has left......that's all any of us can hope for in the long run, right? to spend whatever days we have as best we can? Good luck Goldsmithy, nobody gets out of this life alive - so make it count!

 

When you said it had moved from the lungs to the liver I knew it had metastisized. I'm at the age where I outlived my sister by four years and now a year away from the age when my mother passed from pancreatic cancer that had metastisized. Main reason why I decided to go the larger valve head route.

May God level the road for his soul . . . .

 

I met Teddy last year at MOTD. A beautiful man with a beautiful car. I hope I get to spend my last few days doing what I love, surrounded by MINI folk.

 

Sorry to hear about Teddy. I meet him at the Mini Meet East in Columbus a couple of years ago and he was a great guy.

Best wishes and positive vibes to Teddy.
Funny how a small community of folks who have come together over the passion of a stupid little car can change lives forever.......

 

I met Ted at the Dragon last year. At the time I was the Admin over at the Big Bad Boogeyman but he was very cordial to me. He is the reason that I put the wheels in motion to remove the crazy ass blockage of anything Motoring Alliance over there.

In essence a man's life can be defined by those that love him and those that he loves. An inanimate thing sometimes comes into this realm and I have no doubt he takes extreme pride in his R52. He was very proud of the painting that the Modfather did on the engine bay. I also have no doubt that a good friend, Dave, did an exception job detailing and placing a ceramic coating on his R52.

I lost my mother and my older sister to cancer. Positive vibes to you Goldsmithy .

 

Thank you Dave. This is such sad news for sure. More good thoughts & vibes sent your way Teddy.

 

The MINI is a unique car as what a woman calls cute some of us recognize what an exceptional subcompact model the Gen1 really is. Teddy was not only such an individual but also from my interaction with him appeared to be a pretty even-keeled individual.

As I remember TV before color and I have faced adversity in my family with death, I can say without doubt that Teddy's quick passing was a blessing. Surrounded by friends and driving a car he truly appreciated one week then meeting his maker a couple of weeks later with his family present is the way to pass on.

Teddy

 

Always a friend in our memories, RIP Teddy! When we met a the Dragon a few years back, you were nice to an old man, may you rest well and drive a few twisties in Heaven.

We know that is where you will spend eternity.

Don

 

Very sorry to hear this. Good thoughts & vibes headed your way Teddy.

 

Teddy and i were supposed to go to MOTD together this year and I had to cancel out, unfortunately. We were both looking forward to traveling together as there is always safety in numbers. I PRAY that Teddy recovers or at least mends well enough to enjoy his car more.

Now, I feel worse than ever for not being able to go.

 

Teddy. Good thoughts and prayers to you my friend. I'm really sorry I had to back out of MOTD at the last minute too. I was looking forward to hanging out and talking for a while. Get better Sir, because I'm looking forward to seeing you there next year.
