- Posted on behalf of GM George and Sr. Prof. Patrice Lim -

We will miss our Uncle Ted.

How will we be remembered through the ages of time?

How fiercely we loved...
 
How passionately we fought...

The Man, the Father, the Husband, the Brother, the Teacher, the Friend.
 
O Sensei Ted Tabura did not teach & practice Lima Lama...

My prayers to his peaceful transcendence and to his family, students, and friends.  He treated me so well the many times I got the chance to hang out with him and his people.  He was a great man and his memory will live in my heart forever.

Love and Respect,
Tim

My condolences to Ted's Family and Friends,
A friend to the Reyes Family, Ted was always with a smile, talking story with my Dad, or my Uncle, Shihan John Damian, wether it was tears of joy or laughter of days and moments past, again it is a sad day to lose such a great martial artist,,,a moment of Silent Salute To a man of endless energy and knowledge.
I met him in my youth, grew to appreciate him as one of the elders, he will be missed.
With all due respect, and with Love to you and yours,

GM Ted was great person, He always treated me good. We had some of good times I loved it it when he talk about the old times. He loved the Art. He came and supported the school from time to time and comented on our Demo team. The Rimando Family would like to send ther condolences to all the family with love.
To me Ted was great grand master and a good friend. Bobby Rimando
