On Aug. 9, 1958, Ted was united in marriage to Lucille Mae Carlson. Ted was a lifelong farmer and had also worked as a truck driver for Hubbard Ice in his earlier years.

Ted was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, the Excelsior Club, Springville American Legion Post 331, Midwest Sidecar Association and the American Motorcycle Association. He enjoyed everything outdoors especially camping and fishing, attending the Iowa State Fair and raising rabbits.
