“In my 40+ years working, Teddy will always be to me, the best boss I've ever had! He was kind and patient and always available to discuss any issues that might arise. I'm a 60-year-old and he would greet me with, what's up kid? Truly a great man who will be forever missed. My heartfelt condolences to his lovely wife (I would see them both at C&T for dinner sometimes) and his children. Bonny Vernon Buchler”

Dr. Trudy A. Atkins wrote a sympathy message

“Ted welcomed me warmly when I arrived in the Bordentown Regional School District. If I would be in my office late at night he'd see the light on and call me, "Dr. Trudy, are you ok? Let me know when you're leaving and I'll walk you out." He checked on everyone and everything and made sure the students and staff of the District were safe. I will miss his physical presence in the schools but I know we will carry him in our hearts always. Trudy A. Atkins, Ed.D. BRSD Superintendent of Schools.”

Cheryl Glitz wrote a sympathy message

“Mr. Ted selflessly helped the band at MIS during many early morning rehearsals. The kids loved to run and find him, then drag him down to help us haul equipment or unlock doors. He always had a smile on his face, even at 7:30 am when most reasonable people don't want to be near 10-year-olds making a ton of noise. Mr. Ted was patient and kind, and his willingness to drop everything and help me and the band kids will not be forgotten.”

“I am so saddened to hear of the passing of my friend & co-worker, Ted Eldridge. There just aren't enough words to share that will exemplify the kind spirit that was Ted. We always had great talks over the many years & he was always willing to get anything that I needed or make sure anything I needed done, got done. His presence, warm smile and kindness will be greatly missed. Rest well and peacefully, Ted and my prayers and condolences are extended to his family. Donna Glover, BRSD School Nurse”
