Dear Larry:  I am Ted's sister.  I am sad to report that Ted Stephany died on January 20th from lymphoma.  If you would please inform his classmates, I would be much obliged.  Thank you.  Pam Stephany

TO PAMELA STEPHANY:  Pamela, thank you so much for reaching out to us.  On behalf of the ATO’s let me express our deepest condolences for your loss.  Ted was a friend, and a favorite and true fraternity brother, we will miss him.  I tried to keep up with Ted, and spoke with him a few times in recent years, but had no idea he was ill.  Ted was a man of few words, very private.  Thank you for letting us know, and God bless you and your family.
Larry Simons

I remember Ted always had a wry smile, like he knew a riddle that no one could solve, or like he a practical joke ready to spring on you.  Always a gentleman.  He was taller than most of us.  Ted was a Sophomore when I was a Senior, he had a quick wit – and in our group, if you did not have a quick wit you did not survive.

 
Ted was close with many of our guys, but perhaps closest to Hill Turner and George Ford.
