friends everywhere they went.

Ted started his working career as one of

the original artisans at the Pike Place Market specializing in leather goods.

He then went on to become a master of any trade that he delved into.

His creativity and the love of woodworking allowed him to turn simple pieces of wood into what would become his signature, radius masterpieces.

His analytical mind allowed him to tackle any problem that came his way. He never dwelled on the problem, only the solution.

He was kind hearted, patient, and always willing to share his vast knowledge with anyone who was willing to listen.

He was a gentle “magic man” who loved music, dancing, warm beaches, astronomy, reading and a relentless quest for learning.

Being with his friends and family was always special to him.

He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

The Universe hit the jackpot the day he left this Earth.

The family wishes to thank Volunteer Hospice, Home Health, and Joan from Caregivers of Sequim. He wished to have his body dotated to medical research.
