We lost Ted!!!! The pain seems unbearable. An extraordinary loss not only for his family, friends and collaborators, but for society as a whole!!!! There aren’t words to describe what Ted meant both on professional and personal levels to all of us who had the privilege of having him part of our life. He really was — and will remain — one of a kind, who happens very rarely and marks history forever. His inventiveness, energy, ethical values, kindness, intellectual honesty, and dedication to improving the human condition and building a better future for all are a legacy that will continue to influence the future. The universe where he is now, will be a better place thanks to Ted. But here, he will be highly missed!
