Ted became the district manager of Service Merchandise, leading many employees and overseeing Chicagoland stores up until his retirement.
Ted loved the life he was given, all that he was gifted to be the surrounded by. His love for his wife Barbara and many cats never went unnoticed. Ted had the gift of connecting the world around him, turning strangers into friends everywhere he went. He enjoyed elaborate woodworking, setting records on Angry Birds & riding his scooter all over town.
