FAMILY TRIBUTE

Ted grew up during the depression, learning how to fix, repair and build things re-using items on hand, becoming a man of all trades. During World War II, he joined and served with honor as a Staff Sergeant in the Army Air Corps. He flew 50 missions with the 483 Bombardier Group. After the war he met and married Helen Konopka. Ted built our family home in the Warrendale Polish Neighborhood of Detroit where they raised three sons. Ted enjoyed playing golf, fishing and hunting. He enjoyed gardening and had bee hives that he harvested and produced honey. He learned music, playing the clarinet and later the harmonica. He also sang in the church choir. He enjoyed playing and teaching the game of chess with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Ted is loved and will be missed.
