He was a member of the Brooklyn Sports Club. In 1995, Ted coached his son Brett's soccer team, (Maumee Express Boy's 81 Soccer) and led the team to the club's first and only State Championship title.
Surviving is his loving wife of 50 years, Anne; sons, AJ (Catrina) and Ryan (Stacey) Motter; grandchildren, Kalub, Keegan, Bryce, Conner, Dylan, Elizabeth, Grace, Cole, Vivian, Ella, Andrew and Katelyn.

Ted was a good guy that I would always see and Horn Lock. Went to school with him but I graduated in 1965. With all the non-sense of
Covid19, I missed his passing. Rest in peace my friend, will miss seeing you, as I haven't seen you the last few times I've been in. My heart goes out to Anne and his family.

Anne and family, I was so sad to hear of Ted's passing. He was a wonderful classmate, friend, husband, father, and grandfather. I was very lucky to be involved in the planning of our 1966 MHS Reunion, and to get to know old friends whom I had not seen in decades. I will always appreciate that chance to spend time with such terrific people, especially having lived away from Ohio for so long. Ted's was an example of a life well spent, and his marriage to Anne was very special. Peace and blessings always.

It was with great sadness that I read of Ted's passing. We were more acquaintances than friends, but shared our love of sports. My thoughts and prayers are with you Anne and family.
