Ted in the United States Air Force Reserves for six years. Beyond his military service, Ted was a man of many talents and interests. His passion for woodworking and tinkering was more than a hobby; it was expression of love for those around him. He could often be found in his workshop, building cabinets, doors, and furniture.
