Ted, who worked at Yale University, lived life with humor and was often the life of the party, if you could convince him to go out.

From Wallingford Funeral Home

Edward Z. Voss, 45, of Wallingford, loving husband of Michele (Agee) Voss, passed away Monday, February 12, 2018 at Smilow Cancer Hospital after a battle with kidney cancer. He was known to friends and family as Teddy or Ted and his greatest achievement, his son Gavin Voss, simply called him dad. When not watching sports, Ted could be found traveling, cheering on his son at swim meets, or spending time with his family. Ted lived life with humor and was often the life of the party if you could convince him to go out.

Born in Plattsburgh, New York on June 30, 1972, Ted was the son of William Voss of Washington and Karen (Melhorn) Voss of Maryland. He was employed at Yale University in New Haven as a Biotechnology Associate.
