[NFBMT] Death Notice from Montana

[Dan Burke]

Thanks for passing this along, Joy. I am deeply saddened to hear that
ted has passed. For many of us, many going back into the 80s and 90s,
Ted was a constant, a rock that we al knew we could count on, and we
loved him for that. Blessings to him and to Anna and the Robbins clan.
He loved and was so proud of his progeny.
