Theodore Stern Obituary

Your love will ease the pain.

Dear Tippy
We were deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I always respected your dad and had the opportunity to visit with him before Christmas. He was such a great conversationalist!
May God grant you peace and consolation

The Center for Heirs' Property Preservation regrets deeply the loss of such a great and good man and will be presenting it's 2013 "Commitment to Justice" Award to Dr. Stern's family in his honor at a reception in Charleston on March 7th.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Some of the best and most meaningful years of my life were spent during my education at the College of Charleston! President Stern was fondly known as "Daddy Stern" to a select group of us! He had an incredible open heart and readily available ear for his students. He helped to define my native city of Charleston...His legacy being larger than life itself, I am so proud to have him as a beloved "patch" on the quilt of my life.

Tippy, I have so many found memories from Jr. High spending time with you and your family. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a very special man. May you find comfort in all of the sweet memories that were made.

This amazing man also had responsibility for planning, as a seabee, the enormous logistics of an invasion of Japan in 1945. I believe his autobiography

-- No Problems, Only Challenges --

Ted Stern was a man of enormous accomplishment. His life enriched the entire community and touched lives of people around the world. His legacy will reach far into the future.

What a wonderful man! His positive energy and force lit up rooms whenever he entered. How lucky Charleston is to have had his leadership for so many years. He will be missed by all he touched and my heart goes out to his family whom he loved so much. Kathleen Rivers

My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of sorrow. May you find comfort in your many cherished memories.

It has been an honor to know Dr. Stern. A great man who has left a great legacy. A celebration of an amazing life of a man that had a profound influence on so many lives and organizations. May we all strive to walk in your path.

Past Rotary District Governor and Past President Ted was a great asset to Rotary, to the College of Charleston and to the City of Charleston. He will long be remembered!

So honored to have met him...my step great uncle...what a man! What an amazing great life!

Hi Sandy, So sorry for your loss.

My sympathies to the family, particularly Sandy, Frances, Daniel,Frank and Allie.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Truly a great gentleman; a wonderful college president who knew his students' names. Will be greatly missed.

I kept his letters of congratulation to me upon getting three yearbooks out on time and with a 'professional flair.' I kept his letters of congratulation upon dean's list inclusion. I will NEVER throw them away. He must have been an admirable Captain for our Navy. We has a great admiral for our College. He was a formidable commandant for us all. RIP, Mister President, you did well by us. thanks,

What a hero, what an inspiration, what an eternal treasure to us all!

My thoughts & prayers go out to the family!! He was a true Gentleman & will be missed at BG!!
