Some of Ted's hobbies included Golf and Bowling. He bowled three perfect 300 games and earned many trophies in both sports. He enjoyed remodeling and landscaping all of the homes in which he and Barbara lived. Ted was a fan of the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Milwaukee Bucks. He was Commodore of Lauderdale Lakes Yacht Club where he presided over boat parades and costume parties. His exacting work ethic was on display both in his jobs as a Plant Engineer at Allen-Bradley - where 3 people were needed to replace him when he retired - and for the US Army Corps where he retired honorably as an E5 Sergeant. Ted loved playing sheepshead with dear friends. He was an avid water and snow skier and the life of many parties.
