For Ted, family always came first. A role model Dad, his greatest pride and joy were his children, Jack, Grace and Sarah. He loved sharing his passions for learning, music, sports and the outdoors with them every day. Beth and Ted were a formidable team, always providing each other support and unconditional love.

Ted was also active in his community. He was a founding Director and Board Chair for the Edward W. Brooke Charter School, a beloved soccer coach and a steadfast supporter of Winchester Soccer and an active member of the Smugglers Notch Ski and Snowboard Club.
Ted loved being outside, especially in the winter when his goal was always to ski as many days as possible. Once the snow melted, you could find him mountain biking in the woods or fishing in Chatham.
