Life story

Ted was an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. He lived life to the fullest. Ted was an avid sports enthusiast and could usually be found hanging with family or friends. He loved spending a week during summer at Camp Odayin (a camp for kids with heart disease) and made many lifelong friends. Through his high school years he was involved with Lake Orion's Television Production Workshop (TPW) where he loved producing stories and making friends. He travelled many places and always had a way of making his own adventure. When being around Ted, you were sure to be laughing!
