at his side. Ted was born on October 8, 1932 in Wilmington, NC to Ed and Mary Blake.

and friend. He was dedicated to his family and church family at Oak Forest United Methodist
Church through which he and his wife served as volunteers for the Meals on Wheels program

hands building several wooden row boats and continued enjoying the outdoors by sailing and
