He was a graduate of Broadalbin High School and attended the New York State Maritime Academy.

Ted was a staff sergeant in the New York Army National Guard, serving as a recruiter in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Though Ted enjoyed many things during his time, his greatest love was for his family and his country.

Ted has parted physically from his loving wife of 10 years, Melissa Clothier McDougall, and his three young children, Kayla, Kenzie and Todd. He is also survived by his sisters, Angela Cota and Melissa Spencer; his brother, Brian McDougall; and several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
