James “Ted” Brew, of Holmdel, passed away Wednesday March 27th in Red Bank.

Ted was born in Brooklyn and moved to Holmdel where he eventually started his own company Radio Recall Research in Holmdel. Ted loved his wine, he would research and learn as much as he could so he could find the best wines; he considered himself a wine enthusiast. He also enjoyed travel, he and his wife Isabelle travelled throughout Continental Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States. Their favorite stops being Paris, France and all of Italy. Ted loved to spend quality time with his family, he was always the man on the grill at summer time cook outs. At the end of the day he loved his time caring for his lawn and garden, “his thinking time”.

Ted was truly a great man.
