Dad, this was one of those days when you called me at work and said... "I want crabs!". I really didn't want to go to the buffet place so I brought you a couple of lobsters. You were so happy that evening. I'm grateful for those moments with you. I will remember them forever. One day, I hope to see you again... I'll bring the lobsters! Miss you Dad...

I have so many memories about when you were courting Zenie, and how you played one song for her over and over on the piano. I don’t know if that was one thing that helped you win Zenie’s hand in marriage over her two other suitors.
And thank you, Ted, for your way of helping people and how you drove us around to see many sights, including the Statute of Liberty, the Cherry Blossoms, and many other interesting places, and especially for driving Rey and family around when they were visiting New Jersey from the Philippines, such as when you took them to the Atlantic City casinos, Niagara Falls, and other fun places.
There have been difficult times for both of us over the years, but we got through them with love and care for one another.

Tito Ted, you've always been a guiding light to your family and a pillar of support. Growing up in your loving household, alongside Roy, Rhina, Robert, and Randy, I felt like one of your own, with the warmth and joy of a big, caring family. I hold precious memories close to my heart, like those cheering for the New York Yankees, our adventurous outings to Seaside Heights where we went crabbing and fishing, and those days at Round Valley, swimming and BBQ-ing. Atlantic City trips were always a highlight, but some of my fondest memories are of watching you play tennis at the courts in Lincoln Park, while Robert, Randy, and I were up to no good and made “booby traps.” Each moment we spent with you was a lesson in enjoying life's simple pleasures.
As you join Tita Zenie in heaven, I imagine you enjoying endless rounds of golf and feasting at a heavenly Chinese buffet. These thoughts bring comfort in this time of sorrow. Thank you, Tito Ted, for the love and the countless wonderful memories. Rest well, knowing you have left behind a legacy of love and joy that will forever resonate within us.

When I married Zenie’s sister Prosper in 1983, Prosper and I spent part of our honeymoon in Providence, Rhode Island, and part in New Jersey with Ted and Zenie. Ted and Zenie both welcomed me into their home and their hearts, and I immediately felt like one of the family.
Over the years, Prosper and I spent many happy times with Ted and Zenie in New Jersey, and with them in California when they traveled west.
Memory has always been a part of Jewish tradition. If I remember correctly, long ago a rabbi was asked what one should do when a loved one passes. He said: “Remember.”
I remember how Ted (and Zenie) took Prosper and me to many interesting and different places, including Atlantic City, Mystic Seaport, Martha’s Vineyard, and Provincetown.
I remember that Ted thought nothing of driving long distances to make our visits extra special – once he and Zenie drove us to Niagara Falls.
I remember that Filipino and Chinese were favorite foods of Ted.
I remember that Ted took us out many times to eat at his favorite type of restaurant – the Chinese buffet. We had many meals of Chinese food at several different Chinese buffets that Ted liked, and we had take-out food many times at Ted’s house that was picked up from the nearby China Magic restaurant. We had so much fun pigging out on Chinese food with Ted and Zenie and enjoying their company while we ate.
I remember playing tennis with Ted on a number of occasions. I learned how to become a better player with tips that Ted gave me.
I remember playing golf with Ted in New Jersey several times. And Ted gave me pointers to improve my golf. I even went golfing with Ted when there was a lot of snow on a local public golf course. Ever prepared, Ted had brightly colored golf balls that would be easy to find in the snow. I think they were red or orange.
I remember watching golf matches on TV with Ted while we sat at the kitchen table in Piscataway, sometimes while we ate and sometimes just watching.
I remember how much I enjoyed spending time with Ted.
I was looking forward to our next visit to New Jersey, whenever that might be, so I could spend more time with Ted. Unfortunately, Ted passed away before that trip-to-be came to fruition.
But I am still left with memories. So many years, so many memories. Good memories.
Ted lived an adventurous life. Traveling the world and the country with Zenie. Helping to raise his kids, and spending time with his grandkids.
What makes up a life? So many things. Love and Loss. Smiles and Tears. Joy and Sorrow. Time Wasted. Time Well Spent. Triumph and Failure. Regrets.
Memory. Remember. Remembering may bring sadness. But it also can bring joy, if you let it.
I am reminded of a sonnet by Christina Rossetti, which begins:<br>Remember me when I am gone away<br>I am also reminded of a Shakepeare sonnet:
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought<br>I summon up remembrance of things past,<br>I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,<br>And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,<br>For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,<br>And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,<br>And moan the expense of many a vanished sight;
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,<br>And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er<br>The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,<br>Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,<br>All losses are restored, and sorrows end.
Ted – relative and friend. I remember the good times, dear friend. May you rest in peace and may your memory be a blessing.

Dad-what can I say….I miss you so much but it gives me comfort to know that you are finally together with mom dancing to the “Anniversary Song”. I’m sad right now but in time, I’ll be able to pass by a Chinese restaurant, a casino, watch the Yankees and all the other things and places you love and think of you with a big smile. I love you dad-Rhina

Hey dad, we went to Wind Creek yesterday (2/4) and played the remaining chips you had at the house in your honor. We didn’t get the big win. But we enjoyed being there and shared stories about you with some of the staff there. Didn’t feel the same being there without you but we know you were watching us and making fun of our gambling decisions. Haha. Love and miss you!

I’ll always remember the same conversations about sports I’ve had with papa. Whenever I would tell him about baseball or track he would always end it with “What about golf or tennis?” I would then respond no I’ve never tried it. It wasn’t till the most recent time I saw him I told him I quit track and started playing golf for fun with my friends. He’s never had a more surprising and happy reaction to our sports talk. I hope to continue to play as a hobby and hopefully get as good as him. I’ll love and miss you papa and I pray you and mama Zenie are happy up there in heaven watching over us.

Dad,
Coming home without you here to greet us was unbearable. Yet the immense amount of love that you and mom have built in this home will always be cherished and I am so proud to be part of this family.
Thank you and mom for loving me. Thank you both for showing Randy, the boys and I the true value of faith, family and love. I will miss you both.
I love you,
Kat

Dear Papa Ted,
We miss you and love you so much! We’ll always remember the good memories we had with you when we were young from laughing with us, making us fried bananas, and helping us with our toys. Thank you for being there for us no matter how far apart you were. We wish there was more time to spend with you and just simply be in your presence. Everything we will continue to do like graduate and perform in our Filipino cultural shows will be for you and Mama Zenie. We know you will always be with us watching from above. Rest well in peace.
With all our love,
Natasha, Nadia, and Nico

I am going to miss watching Yankee games with you, especially criticizing umpire calls and watching our high priced talent strike out, then yell at the TV together, "buluk!" LOL...I love you Dad

I remember papa always wanted to teach me how to play golf on a beautiful sunny day outside. He would always correct me on my stance or swing or the many times the club flew out of my hands. Every session made me smile and laugh with you around and I'll never forget what you taught me. I'll always be thinking about you always. Miss you Papa!

For as long as I can remember we would hear stories about this fishing trip our dad and grandfather (Papa Rodrigo) went on and they caught these huge blue fish on a fishing charter. This photo was taken I believe in the late 70’s. I remember being amazed every time I saw this photo. About a year or so ago during one of my visits to NJ, my dad revealed to me that they actually got skunked during the fishing trip … didn’t catch a thing. But some guys on the boat felt bad for my dad and grandad and either gave them some fish or sold it to them. Well played dad … your secret is safe with me. lol. Love you!

Teddy was an avid tennis player.
Up until Ted & his family moved to Piscataway, we often met up & played tennis at the courts in Lincoln Park in Jersey City & Bayonne Park.
All our thoughts, prayers & condolences.
May he RIP in God's warm embrace & now reunited with his beautiful loving wife.

This is the last photo taken of just me and dad together (January 9, 2025). Great evening with family at Roy’s house. On the way back to dad’s, I was driving and dad was in the passenger seat. My phone was in the center console. I was receiving texts and that made my phone light up. My screen image on my phone is a photo of mom and I. Dad saw the photo as it lit up and started to talk to mom. I like to think mom was calling him home … a week later dad joined her. As much as it saddens me not to be able to spend more time with dad, I know mom and dad are together in heaven watching over us and will forever be in our hearts. See you in my dreams dad. Love, Randy
