R.I.P. mi frien.
I first met "Ted" (although I always called him Mr. Plumber" as a personal inside joke) back in the early '90s through the late owner of Whistling Bird over our mutual love of Jazz. Ted traveled to the beat of a different drum both in business and in life.
My prayers go out to his family, friends and staff at Roots.
The World (and especially Negril) will be a lesser place with his passing.
Peace and Guidance.
