Theodore Robert Craven

Ted was a U.S. Army Veteran, Quality Control Engineer and restaurateur – owning the Towne-Lyne Restaurant in Gray, ME for over 25 years. He resumed playing golf after retiring and scored his first hole-in-one at the age of 75. He was a member of Riverside Golf Club in Portland and always looked forward to meeting his golf buddies on the course twice a week.
