As a teenager I worked for Ted and Lyle at the Shell Station. Ted (and Lyle) were very kind and
forgiving, the best mentors for a young guy.
Delores and I have run into Ted and his wife several times through the years, always enjoyed seeing him again. I always told him, you guys were the best "Boss" I ever had. Ted will be missed, RIP my friend.

Sweet Ted and Lyle. I remember them well, even though I left Wisconsin in 1965..some people just leave a lasting impression on you. So sorry for your loss, family... God bless his sweet soul.

Ted was a resident in the senior apartment community that I manage. He amazed so many of us with the strong independence he held for many years while living here. He will always be remembered as the sweet man who was liked by all. Such a huge heart that he always wore on his sleeve, he was greatly admired and will be deeply missed. My sincerest condolences to his entire family. I will also miss all the loved ones who would stop by to visit him on a regular basis. Love to you all and may you rest in peace sweet Ted. Shelley Hall

Good-bye our dear friend & neighbor Ted. Always quick to get out of bed, shovel the driveway. Having fun on his boat, quick with a good story. Ted is an inspiration to how one should love and enjoy life - we'll miss him a lot! Love Molly & Christophe
