Ted was born in Lethbridge, AB on August 9, 1931 and spent his early years in the hamlet of Turin, AB.

After the cessation of Burns in Calgary Ted went into private practice under the name of Aasgard Engineering. When Ted retired he moved to Teslin, Yukon and thence to Granisle, B.C. where both locations enabled him to pursue his pastimes of hunting and fishing. Ted is survived by his faithful dog, FINN, who on the onset of Ted's illness found refuge with a kind lady in the neighborhood, Rowena Dawson. Ted was predeceased by his twin brother Terry on February 2, 1998. Ted never married but nieces and nephews girdling the globe from Capdenac, France to Comox, B.C. and points in between are left to carry on his name. Of his original eight siblings only three survive, Marie of Lethbridge, Ellen and Alwon of Calgary. A private family commendation is planned on Interment.
