Ted died May 4, 2023.

Born in Cleveland, he came to us from University School in Shaker Heights. At Princeton, he majored in the Latin American division of the Program in European Civilization and took his meals at Court Club.

Married to Jean right after graduation, he spent four years as an intelligence officer in the Air Force, including a year in Vietnam. Ted spent his career in management positions in commercial banking, largely in credit policy and administration. He started with Cleveland Trust, which became Ameritrust; Key Corp; and ultimately National City, where he was director of credit for its investment management subsidiary for 10 years. After retirement, he and Jean continued to live in the 1870 farmhouse that they had bought some 40 years earlier.

Ted is survived by his wife of 61 years, Jean; and daughters Ann and Margaret and their families, which include five grandchildren.
