The young family moved to Prescott, Ariz., in 1953 and made many friends while they owned and operated several successful businesses. Ted was very proud of being a longtime member of the Smoki People, Kiwanis, Yavapai County Fair Board and Yavapai Jeep Posse. His first love was always his family. He was a wonderful husband, ather, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was so proud of all his family. He was able to ride his horses well into his 80s and enjoyed many hunting and fishing trips with his family and friends. Ted also loved to garden. His rose, iris and vegetable gardens brought beauty and joy to everyone who saw them. He will be greatly missed.
