Trim plant. After retirement Ted and Jackie moved to Prudenville Michigan where they built the home of their dreams, entertaining family and friends year round, whether it was snowmobiling to Tip Up Town or telling tales around a summer bonfire. Ted was known as “ Mr. Fix-it" and his talents also included building many trailers. He loved his garden and any wood craft you needed he could build, spending a few years also selling his crafts at shows around Essex county. Ted loved all of his and his family’s pets (always having treats in his pocket) and always had a dog by his side or a cat curled up in the house. Donations to the animal shelter of your choice would be appreciated by the family. Cremation has taken place as per Ted’s wishes. A Celebration of life mass will take place on Monday, February 17, 2020. Ted will receive family and friends at Saint Ann’s Church at 12233 Tecumseh Rd. E. Tecumseh Ontario. Memorial Visitation at 10 AM to be followed by mass at 11 AM.
