Although Ted was an avid bowler and golfer, his family always came first. His family members often looked to him for advice, and wherever there was a need he was always there to help. He was the rock of the family with his huge heart, sensitivity and good advice. He always made sure his family was taken care of. He was loved so much and will be missed by many.
