All we have are memories, but all GOOD ones of a friend who was always fun to be with. When our "group" got together, Jan and Jerry, Chuck and Marge, Wayne and Lorraine, and of course, Ted and Carol, we couldn't stop talking, especially, Ted. My deepest sympathy and prayers to Carol and the family. He will be missed ! Fondly, Lorraine Schmidt

Our prayers and deepest sympathy to all of Ted's family. May you be comforted knowing he is at peace with his heavenly Father. God's blessings to all! My first job was working at Badger Metal Trims and where I first met Ted. I only worked there for about 5 years when I left to have my first child. Fast forward 35 years and I end up going to the same church as his son Neal. Neal made it possible for Bob and I to reconnect with Ted and Carol during the summer up at their cottage in Rome, WI. We had a nice time and were glad to have the opportunity to see him once again. Rest in peace Ted!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Ted was a great guy and all of us here at Orlandini Flooring will miss him! I knew him since I was a high schooler doing deliveries and stopping at Badger Metal Trims to pick up materials. Always one of my favorite stops because of the free cookies and stories from Ted. He was a great storyteller and I always enjoyed when he would stop in and visit us here at the shop! Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
