I remember Ted as a supervisor, co-worker, and friend at Richmond Residential Services. I had not heard of his passing until yesterday. I am saddened to hear of his passing and keep with me what he gave as a friend and teacher.

With a smile and a tear I let go and look forward to our new relationship in Christ. Every time I saw Ted after he left my home and was out 'in the wilderness" like Jesus he would say, he always told me of a miracle that happened so I wouldn't cry. Now this is THE GREAT MIRACLE. He is free from his pain racked body and is in the Heart of God. Play your music my friend and I hope you dance. How enriched my life is because we walked trough it together for 17 years with Noelle, number one in your life! Thank you for all the persons in your life that you shaared with me. Now I know the true meaning of "I believe in the communion of saints". How do I End this memory message when there is so much to remember? With a promise of more miracles. Amen.

I'm still in the process of absorbing all of the shock of him dying. But, it holds true he would want us to celebrate his going to Jesus, and his life, rather than mourn in our death. He'd send me letters all the time, whatever he could find to write on. Half the time, I couldn't read his writing for most of the message...that's hereditary. But I know he would mail me his silly letters-and the occasional fake snake to pull a prank....there are SO many mememories. When I was little and he'd visit me and he would be upset-I would say "Deal with it Dad!" He picked on me for that up until the last time I saw him. Now, I just have to say "Deal with it" to myself. I miss him, and I want him back to have the chance to do things right. I love him, and I wish I told him that more.

My friend Ted Lane was so open with his life that he confused many with closed minds that did not or would not understand what he did and how he did things. He helped everyone he came in contact with, and he did it with his own style. I believe Ted thought that God made him the way he did and to be any other way would not have been accepting of how he was made by the creator. Ted was my friend and I believe if we could all open up just a little bit more like Ted did, maybe more people would be understanding and accept of his help because when it came to helping the patients he saw on a daily basis, "THEY" knew he made a difference. He made a difference in the life of the ones who needed the help, and never turned his back on anyone that needed his help. He was special, very special, and I hope that anyone who knew him will hold his memory in high regard as it should be.

Ted was a unique person who displayed an amazing ability to be positive and hold onto his faith despite whatever circumstances he found himself in. He loved music - I remember his days playing trombone in The Kings of Swing... and his improv at the piano. He loved people and was always so willing to serve. In some ways, he just didn't fit in this world... just too wide open... I think of him as a great big heart, a spacious soul. I am sorry he is gone.

Rev. Lane was a gentle and loving person. While at MMBH, he helped many of the staff and patients through some very trying times. God bless him and his family.

There will never be enough room on this page, or enough flowers and cards, to reflect how much impact The Reverend had on those he crossed paths with. He adopted me as a sort of psuedo-apprentice during my time at the City Mission in Huntington, and I will never forget the kindness and humility he taught me, through his actions, and not just his words. Ted tried to help all the lost and tired souls around him when he himself was struggling to survive. I witnessed this, and it still amazes me to this day. I have never known a more selfless person, and it is my great pleasure to have known The Reverend, even in such a brief period of time. He is one-of-a- kind, and I will always remember what he taught me:
"Jim...you see, even the Lotus grows in the mud!"
Thank you, my teacher: I hope I make you proud when you look down on me.

How well I remember Rev. Lane. He came to the mission with great frequency. He dined with our guests and was always so pleasant to those he came into contact with.I recall an incident at Thanksgiving or thereabout he always carried a large thermos for water. Oour policy is not to fill "outside" containers. He ask me if I would give him a drink of water. I smiled and took his thermos, filled it with ice water and returned it to me. He kindly thanked me and reminded me God was happy that I provided a drink of cool water to someone needing it. I never forgot that. He will be missed.
