Theodore Grimm

On Saturday September 24, 2022, Theodore F. Grimm, passed away at the Samaritan Hospice Inpatient
Center in Voorhees NJ after a long and valiant battle with Lewey Body Dementia. The journey has been
most difficult due to the amazing intellect and beautiful mind of Ted. Cherished were his abilities to ask
interesting questions and create great conversation at so many holiday parties and events. Ted spent
most of his life trying new things such as yoga, ball room dancing, skiing, French lessons and most
importantly – traveling. He was committed to his family – brother Larry Grimm, sister in law Jo-Anne
Grimm and their children: Sabina, Larry III, and Kristi-Anne. He enjoyed many trips to the local pub to
visit his friends of a life time. Ted was a dedicated NJ State employee for over 30 years. He began his
career as a Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) protective services caseworker in Camden
County. He was promoted to supervising a unit of workers in the Work Incentive Network (WIN) in
Atlantic County. Ted's final assignments before his retirement in 2001 was with the Division of Family
Development (DFD) in Trenton. His last position was as a State representative to the Union County
Board of Social Services where he provided assistance and clarification to that agency in the
implementation of Federal and State laws, regulations and guidelines of family assistance programs.
Ted was proceeded in death by parents Lawrence and Gertrude Grimm and a younger beloved brother,
Ronnie. The family would like to thank the amazing staff at Personally Yours services who provided
much support; kindness and love to Ted and his family these last four years –
specifically Lisa Ciquero and Renee Hoagland.
Services are private and at the convenience of the family.
