Ted worked all his life in the banking industry including TD and Avco, then retired from the Bank of Montreal. He was known as a kind and thoughtful person to all that worked with him.

Ted believed in giving back and accomplished 50 blood donations including platelets and being a big Brother.  He was generous giving to charities close to his heart, ALS and Canadian Cancer Society.

Ted had a passion for the simple joys in life.  He found peace and happiness in nature, photography and travel.  He loved watching sports and enjoyed playing golf before photography became his life.  Ted will be remembered for his great strength, gentle heart and the deep love he had for his family.  His presence was a comfort, his smile a gift and his memory will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.  He will be remembered by his family and friends for his quick wit and his wonderful sense of humour.

With respect to his wishes, cremation has taken place and Ted’s family will celebrate his life privately.

If you wish to make a donation in memory of Ted, please consider ALS, Canadian Cancer Society or to a cause that is meaningful to you.
