Ted was born in Port Alberni September 13, 1946 and passed away at the age of 72 in Nanaimo November 5, 2018. The best memories of Ted will be from over 30 years at T & T Texaco on Gabriola Island. He loved his island life: helping others, driving the fuel, fire, tow trucks and ambulance and fixing all sorts of vehicles. He shared his life over many beers, hunting, fishing and enjoying friends. After a few years in Prince George he returned to Nanaimo to be with family.
