Kenneth “Ted” Kinter was born in Trenton, NJ and died at his home in Lawrenceville, NJ after a short and brave fight with cancer. He was born to Thomas and Lillian Kinter in Trenton and was the youngest sibling of Thomas, Lenore, Betty, and Timothy. He was raised in North Crosswicks, NJ, graduating from Hamilton High West and from Western Maryland College with a bachelor’s in education. He played baseball in the famous “Little Bigger League”. He taught at Steinert High School for 34 years and was head of their English Dept. He also taught in the A/V Dept., running the school’s local cable channel. He was an extremely successful soccer coach for Steinert, being inducted into their Athletic Hall of Fame in 2025. He held leadership roles in the New Jersey and Hamilton Township Educators’ Associations, tirelessly advocating for better conditions for the students, teachers, and staff. He was an avid bowler, boater, and fisherman and was a member of the Brant Beach Yacht Club. He and his longtime partner, Carol, split their time between Lawrenceville and Long Beach Island. He never lost his love of Crosswicks, giving talks about the factual/fictional history of the area for the Historical Society.
He was predeceased by his parents and siblings and is survived by his partner Carol R. Kish, his children Kenneth and Jeffrey, daughter-in laws PJ and Karen, his grandchildren Jackson and Bryce, as well as countless loving nephews, cousins, in-laws, “out-laws” and everyone whose life touched his.
