I just opened the SWGDAM web site and was so shocked at the passing of Ted. I remember how kind he was years ago when I was a two-time ASCLD/LAB auditor of the GBI lab and during the time I was a member of SWGDAM - so many years ago. My heart goes out to Kim and the Staples family.

I remember many a fun night in the Board Room with Ted (i.e. the hostelry at the FBI Academy) exchanging anecdotes about our varied upbringing. The bargain was he taught me "Southern" if i would teach him "Scottish". He was a true gentleman and scholar and it was always a pleasure to be in his company. My thoughts and condolences to Ted's family. Jack Ballantyne (Florida)

I wish Ted’s family the best in this challenging time. In my years of working with Ted at the GBI, he was always focused on his family and their well being. Ted was one of the first DNA scientists in the state of Georgia and a national leader in the field of forensic DNA testing.

On behalf of the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods’ (SWGDAM) Executive Board and community, we were greatly saddened to hear of Ted’s passing last week and offer our sincere condolences.
In its over thirty-year history, SWGDAM has only been led by two Chairmen who were not Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) scientists. Ted chaired SWGDAM from 2008 to January 2011. We appreciate the burdens of the SWGDAM Chairmanship, especially for our non-FBI Chairmen, and the additional work beyond his Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) career that Ted willingly accepted. We know it was often a daily commitment and Ted served with distinction as SWGDAM Chair for four years while also balancing his family life and GBI career. He left a lasting legacy from his time as SWGDAM Chair, having shepherded SWGDAM through many tasks and issues, such as completion of the Databasing Quality Assurance Standards (QAS), development of two new Audit Documents, approval of Y-STR and STR Interpretation Guidelines, adoption of Partial Match Recommendations, and consensus on a Joint Statement on Contamination, to name a few.
Ted also shared his love for his family with many of us at our semi-annual meetings. While we remember his forensic expertise and his graciousness in sharing it with others, his colleagues will also remember him as a true Southern gentleman (who wore cowboy boots)!
We know that there may be little that we can offer as comfort, but know that Ted had a profound impact on this nation’s forensic DNA community, and that he will be fondly remembered and missed.
With our deepest sympathies,
Anthony J. Onorato
SWGDAM Chair

On behalf of my family and I, we extend our deepest appreciation to the Staples family.

Praying for your strength during this time. Remember God's Strength is made perfect in our times of Weakness. May the light of God's Glory continue to be upon your family.

My condolences to the Staples family. Ted was a good friend and I will always cherish the times we had at the GBI. From playing softball on the coed team to going to Bud's Picnic for a beer with the other agents and crime lab people. Ted, was immensely helpful throughout my career at the GBI, he cared and took the time to help explain the DNA science. Not sure how much I retained , but he tried.
Rest in peace, Ted

I knew Ted when he was the CODIS administrator for GBI and I've hung out with him at SWGDAM meetings and CODIS Conferences. He was a soft-spoken and kind-hearted man with a great taste in cowboy boots and, some would say, a "semi-unhealthy" passion for the Georgia Bulldogs. You will be missed, Ted. May you rest in peace. My sincerest condolences and sympathies to the Staples family.

I send my sympathies with the Staples family. I did not know Ted well but the occasions that our paths crossed at GBI headquarters, I was impressed with his intellect and knowledge of his discipline. Ted was a DNA pioneer and led the GBI Crime Lab In developing critical protocols as he was known nationally this field. What is commonplace In DNA today was a mystery to many of us In criminal investigations back then and Ted would take the time to give explanations. I sorry you didn’t have more time to play with your grand children.
Rest in God’s peace Ted and may the Staples family be comforted in this difficult time of mourning.
