He was born on Jan. 27, 1954, in Fremont, Ohio, to Harlan L. and Peggy (Yoh) Lea. His father preceded him in death and his mother survives in Largo, Fla. On July 30, 1979, he married Terri L.

Ted was a 1972 graduate of Wapakoneta High School. He worked at Sohigro / Terra near Moulton for over 27 years and in 1999 he retired as plant manager.
Ted then started his own business, ForeverGreen & CleanPonds, specializing in lawn and pond care. He was very dedicated to his business and especially enjoyed being outdoors, fishing and working in his shop. A private gathering to celebrate Ted's life will be held at a later date. The family would like to thank Uniopolis E.M.S. for their help and the many friends and extended family for all of their support.
