Theodore Will Obituary
Theodore "Ted" Nielsen Will, 82, died Tuesday, May 14, 2019. Ted was born in Saginaw, MI in 1937 and was raised in Toledo, Ohio. After graduating from DeVilbiss High School in 1955, he attended The University Of Toledo, graduating in 1960 with BBA in Marketing. Ted accepted his first job with General Tire in Akron. There, he met his wife of 52 years, Beverly. They moved to Toledo in 1972 when Ted took a job with Owens Corning as an Advertising Manager.

Ted leaves behind his wife, Bev; son, Brad (Amy) Will; daughter, Lisa (Tim) Ruff; and two grandchildren, Shawn and Katie Ruff. He is also survived by a sister and brother, Janet Will and John Will; siblings-in-law, Marsha and Ray Yanok and Ken and Glenna Maurer; as well as his nieces and nephew.

As a friend of Brad, my sincere condolences. Guessing Brads love of sailing came from his father. What a great passion to pass to the next generation.
