Ted, Jean and their 5 girls enjoyed 54 years on the homestead he built for his family. Ted spent hours each day working outside, and always planted a huge garden. His daffodils brightened our homes each spring. Ted had an incredible sense of humor, and his wit will be greatly missed.
A service with military honors will be at 11:00 a.m., Monday, January 20 at Willamette National Cemetery 11800 SE Mt. Scott Blvd. Portland.
