Ted was known for his remarkable skill as a carpenter. He will be fondly remembered as a man of pride and dignity. Ted proudly served in the United States Marine Corp. His warmth and welcoming soul made him an exceptional man and to know him was to love him. Ted’s life was a testament to his faith, love, and the power of family. Ted was a devoted loving family man who lived daily for his family. He found eternal peace and joy in loving his Lord Jesus Christ and making him the center of his life. An avid animal lover, he found much comfort in feeding birds and squirrels as he would watch them and found peace in the beauty of nature. Ted’s fur babies were the king and queen of his palace.
