So very sorry for your loss. Sympathy and prayers.

So very sorry to hear of Ted's passing. I know he is no longer suffering. Prayers to Mary Anne and family.

I GREW UP WITH TED IN JASONVILLE. I HAD A CHANCE TO VISIT WITH TED & MIKE AT OUR 50TH REUNION. WE WERE LUCKY TO LIVE IN A GREAT SMALL TOWN IN INDIANA. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY. ED VAUGHN, HOUSTON, TX

Ted came into my work one time and we got to talking. He spent some time in Jennings County and come to find out he knew my Uncle Ronnie Castetter very well. Needless to say we had a lot to talk about and we had just met. What an outstanding gentleman. He will missed! Prayers to his family during this difficult time.

R.I.P my friend. It was a pleasure knowing you! Jim Prentice

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I spent 12 years with Ted in the Jasonville school system. It was great to see him and Mike at the reunion. In December of 2011, Harvey Morrison and I went to Seymour for a visit. I'm glad we made that trip because the time we spent with Ted was so nice.

I had a great conversation with uncle Ted a couple weeks ago -we both laughed. He was always positive no matter how he felt. I have good memories of him and may memories of uncle Ted bring comfort to the family and his friends. I love you uncle Ted Shannon Schott (aka by uncle Ted, Twiggy)

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
