Ted Herbert passing
May. 15th, 2008 12:00 pmI just got a call from my friend and client Marc DeBauch that one of my former Atons club brothers, Ted Herbert, passed away on Friday. Marc told me that Ted did not wish for a memorial ceremony and that Marc wasn't sure if there would even be an obituary.
Ted lived with HIV/AIDS for a long long time. He was having a hard time with life for the past few years, growing more bitter and withdrawing from friends and society. He slowly disappeared from the club around the same time I joined, so I never really got to know Ted.
Marc was asked to help "straighten up" Ted house, and that's when they found a small collection of Atons pins. Marc asked if we would like these and I said that we would always appreciate any historical items about the club.
(Please, no condolences. I didn't really know Ted, but his passing will affect a few of my friends in the club.)
