Born and educated in Millville, NJ, Ted graduated from Millville HS, Stockton University with a degree in art and advertising design, and a Master’s in Education from Seton Hall University.
He was a gifted athlete whose ability earned him football scholarships to the University of Memphis and Louisiana College. After college, he played professionally for the Philadelphia Bulldogs.
Ted joined the NJ State Police in 1967, retiring as a Captain after 30 years of service. A talented artist, he worked for many years as their composite artist.
Ted had so much talent and many varied interests and accomplishments. He owned several antique stores in Atlantic County, he built and ran his marina, and was an active volunteer and Board member for several organizations for many years. He had an undeniable presence and was our family’s and everyone else’s go to guy, always willing to help with any project--plan it, build it, fix it or whatever it took to get the job done. Great advice was dispensed along the way, but only if one asked.
He loved visiting art museums as well as traveling extensively.
