After a successful 38-year career as a commercial airline pilot, Ted spent his retirement years with his wife Mary on Maui, Hawai'i. He loved what the island had to offer, from paddling traditional Hawai'ian outrigger canoes, hiking, mountain biking, to spoiling his then-puppy Koa like there was no tomorrow. He wholeheartedly took in the spirit of aloha and loved every moment of being a part of the Maui ohana (family). 

​

Once a captain, always a captain. Ted flew west on November 13, 2023 in Rochester, Minnesota. He was 71. He is survived by his wife Mary, his siblings, relatives, and a countless number of friends whom he considered his family.
