Ted loved fishing, hunting, riding his ATV and going out on his boat. He was an avid reader, had a great sense of humor and loved his beagles. Ted was a quiet, thoughtful man who said what he meant and meant what he said. We couldn’t have asked for a better husband, father or grandfather.

He received the RCL Meritorious Service Award in 1989.
