In Idaho, he worked for J.R. Simplot until his retirement. He was a gardener extraordinaire, loved scratching lottery tickets and endless cups of coffee at Denny’s. He had a quick wit and made us laugh even to the end. He loved his grandchildren and spent lots of time talking and playing with them. He especially enjoyed his multiple phone calls with Jerikka every day and weekly adventure trips with Jasmine, his two eldest granddaughters. He was proud of his kids and argued politics with the talking heads on TV. One of his greatest joys was reuniting with his daughter Rita and connecting with her children and grandchildren. Ted was well loved by his family and friend. We will miss you Dad. Funeral services will be Friday December 29, 2017 1:00 PM at the Sunnyridge Assembly of God Church ( 2121 Sunnyridge Road) Nampa.
