Ted, as he was affectionately called, loved to spend time with his family and friends. He was a kind hearted man that loved people. He was a dedicated Christian that read his Bible avidly and later in life he enjoyed listening to the Audio Bible. He also enjoyed observing God’s beautiful outdoors while he was fishing.
