Dear friends: It is with great sadness that I
have to report that Ted Metelnick, our long standing member, past
President and Treasurer has passed away. He had been unreachable
for 2 days and eventually the police were called who entered his
house this morning and found him dead. I have just returned from
his house and can report now the circumstances. The Coroner
believes that Ted died on Monday evening. He had been ill for a
week with what he called "flu" and when I spoke with him
Monday he said he was feeling better. He did however sound very
weak. I was told by the Police that the coroner is satisfied that
he died of natural causes. His passing deals Savoy a harsh
blow. Ted was the repository of not only our financial affairs but
also was a vast source of experience and knowledge of how we did
things or got things done. The Board is going to need to call on
all who can help us get our affairs on an even keel. It is
especially sad that Ted has passed away just after our very
successful production. At present I obviously don't know
anything about funeral arrangements but will pass these on to you
as soon as I am able. Jacob Caines, our music director, has
already called and offered to arrange the music for Ted's memorial
service if such is to be arranged. In the coming days we will make
decisions for a suitable memorial for our friend Ted but for now
it is a time to mourn and grieve for the loss of our friend and
colleague. We are all diminished by his
passing. May he rest in peace. John Dr. John Forster |
