Ted loved all things dirt ' gardening, flowers, plants, and trees. This passion led him to work at Ridgehaven Cono School for many years. Ted cared for the land and fixed everything that needed to be fixed. This also gave him the ability to minister to many kids through his quiet loving presence. Ted was a member of Spirit of Life Church in Quasqueton. He was a sinner that was saved through the love, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus. He was preceded in death by his parents and eight siblings. Ted's family extends a very special thank you to Hospice of Mercy for their care and compassion.
