Ted was born in Forrest City, Arkansas. He was the son of Gus and Irene Sulcer. He grew up in Palestine, Arkansas where he met and married the love of his life, Sheila. They settled in Sherwood, Arkansas where he spent most of his life.

He was also a faithful Christian who was a member of Sherwood First Baptist Church for more than 40 years. After moving to Bentonville, he and Sheila became members of Bella Vista Baptist Church, where they worshiped for more than 10 years.
