Ted Casher Obituary, Death – This past weekend, a very talented musician passed away. Ted Casher, who was gifted, brilliant, hilarious, and truly amazing, has passed away, but admirers of great music will continue to take cues from his life and career. I only had a few opportunities to work with Teddy, but we remained in contact with one another. Back a few years ago, on the occasion of my birthday, he sent me a personal message that read: “Best wishes on your birthday, Mike! Have some ice cream and cake, please! Keep swinging!” I’ll try my best, Ted. I promise.
Today, the world lost a close friend of mine who was also a phenomenally talented musician. I am proud to have known him. Many members of the music community are going to miss having Ted Casher around. Craig and I continue to have a profound affection for Velma, who is Craig’s wife, and we pray for her during this time of loss. As I sit here in Cocoa, Florida, just six miles away from the club where I joined him on stage for an open mic with the house band, I think about how close I am. I adore you, Ted, and I ask that you please convey my warmest regards to Rebecca and George.
