Ted was born in Chilliwack, BC in 1924. He spent his early years on the family dairy farm at Camp Slough near Chilliwack, BC. At age 14, Ted was a gifted vocalist and enjoyed playing the piano and accordion for dances in community halls in the Chilliwack/Agassiz area. At age 18, Ted joined the RCAF during the Second World War and served in the No. 120 Bomber Reconnaissance Squadron as a navigator or tail gunner in Stranraer and Canso aircraft/flying boats off the west coast of Vancouver Island. His squadron patrolled up to 500 miles out over the Pacific Ocean for enemy ships, submarines and aircraft. He ended his air force career in the Western Air Command Intelligence as a Mission Specialist and achieved the rank of Sargent. During this time Ted met his wife Phyllis and together they started their family and life together. Ted moved to Edmonton, Alberta in 1945 and began his career as a machinist and heavy duty mechanic. He started and owned a number of businesses in Alberta and worked in the oil and gas industry until his first retirement in 1973. Ted and family moved to Vernon, BC where he started Harding Equipment/Vernon Diesel which supported power equipment needs of the Lumber Industry and B.C. Hydro until he retired. Ted was an avid outdoors person and enjoyed spending time with his family on fishing and hunting trips.

Ted will be missed by his family and good friends, Linda and Lyle Nicolls, Judy and Mark Wakefield, Dale and Ted Carter, John and Bev Tompson, and the family and past employees of the late Jack Morrison of Sun Auto Parts.
The family would like to sincerely thank Veterans Affairs Canada, BC Interior Health staff and all the staff at the Hamlets for the excellent care provided.
