Teddy was one of those people who had a professional goal and managed to achieve it.  He always wanted to be a dj and did just that.  He was just the type to do that and always seemed to be a solid family man.  I always thought of him as being a very happy person but know the last years of his life must have been a real challenge due to physical issues.
