He would do anything for those he cared for, always putting their happiness first. He was known by his family for his humor, and saw no issue inviting the dog up to sit at the table for some birthday cake if it would put a smile on his daughters’ faces. He kept everything that had a meaning. His home was adorned with things that reminded him of his family. Whether it was a little trinket, a photograph, or a scrap of paper doodled on by a grandchild, it was all special to Ted. He also had the enviable talent of finding every stray cat in the village and making sure it had food and a warm place to sleep./ppWhen he couldn’t be found fishing in Dexter on the Black River or in his garage, he was cheering on his family at their high-school sporting events, or beating his grandchildren in Jeopardy. His greatest joy was having his home and backyard overrun with his loved ones. /ppHe is now reunited with his wife Gert Lehnert, his parents, Theodore and Rose Lehnert, his sister Barbara Saler, as well as the countless family pets he has loved in his lifetime./ppPer his request, there will be no viewing or calling hours.
