Ted passed peacefully at home with his family by his side at the age of 84. Beloved husband of Marge, father of Jackie (Tim), and proud grandfather of Freddy and Marley, Ted will be remembered for his warmth, generosity, and zest for life.
Born in Winnipeg and raised in Gimli, Ted served in the Royal Canadian Navy before building a 27 year career with National Cash Register (NCR). He and Marge shared 56 wonderful years of marriage, generously welcoming family and friends into their home and farm, and enjoying travel, gardening, and time outdoors. A devoted Blue Bombers fan, community volunteer, and environmental steward, Ted lived a life rooted in kindness and connection.
