Ted lived an adventurous life filled with lots of interesting tales. He enjoyed challenges and was always a determined man. Known to be found on a piece of heavy equipment pushing some dirt, he is also remembered that he was an avid bowler, hunter, flying enthusiast and won many trophies in archery not to mention all of the card games and playing pool with his sons and friends. In his younger years you would find him riding a dirt bike with many friends.

He will be missed.
