Following his education, Ted served with the United States Army from 1953-1955. After his honorable discharge from the Army, Ted worked a short time with his father on the farm. In 1956, he started farming on his own where he raised cattle, hogs, and sheep, along with custom corn shelling.

Ted was a member of Immaculate Conception Church. He enjoyed playing cards, watching television, listening to music, camping, and square dancing. Most of all, Ted enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and working on the farm. On October 3, 2014, Ted passed away at Sunset Knoll Care and Rehab in Aurelia, IA.
