Ted was born in Cochrane June 29, 1931 and had been looking forward to celebrating his 90th birthday. He worked at a number of jobs in his youth and finally retired from the Ministry of Transportation in the 1980s.

He enjoyed wood work, hunting, fishing, writing poetry and letters to the editor. He learned how to use the computer and spent many hours keeping in touch with friends and family via Facebook.

A celebration of life will be held in the future.
