He completed his education in Washington with a B.A. in Education at Central Washington State and later a Master of Science in Education at Old Dominion University.

He served four years with the U.S. Navy Reserve as a radio operator and electronic technician as part of a flight crew while on active duty at Barbers Point, Hawaii and Lakehurst, Virginia. That experience later prompted him towards obtaining his pilot’s license so he could take his family and friends on air outings. He retired in 2009 from Clackamas County Building Department where he was in charge of the plans examiner department. Ted enjoyed several outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, bicycling and birding. He was passionate about geology and accumulated an abundance of maps and rock samples over the years. He especially enjoyed exploring the outdoors with his daughters, participating in Cycle Oregon and climbing Mt Hood. He is survived by his daughters Jessica (Don) Raines, Rebecca (Felipe) Semper Catherine (Neal) Lurie; grandchildren Mitchell (Amber) Raines, Allyson Raines Woodward (P.J.), Alexandra Semper; siblings Howard Stohr, Esther (Stohr) Colcombe; and long time companion, Jean.
