He was 87 years old. Born on November 15, 1938, to Jean Robinson, Ted embraced life with an open heart and an adventurous spirit. His journey through life was marked by kindness, generosity, and an unwavering dedication to his family and friends.

Their love story was a testament to the strength of partnership and the beauty of shared dreams. As a father, Ted was a guiding light to his daughter, Amber Schar. His wisdom, patience, and understanding were the foundation upon which she built her own life. Ted welcomed his son-in-law, Peter Schar, into the family with open arms, embracing him as his own. Ted's legacy continues to shine brightly through his beloved grandson, Logan Schar, whose laughter and curiosity brought immense joy to Ted's later years. Ted's professional life was as rich and varied as his personal one. He was known for his hard work, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. His colleagues remember him as a man of principle, whose dedication inspired those around him. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Ted was a man of numerous passions. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of life - a good book, a walk in nature, and the company of dear friends. Ted possessed a remarkable ability to connect with people from all walks of life, always willing to lend an ear or a helping hand. Ted's passing leaves a void in the hearts of his family and friends, but his spirit will forever remain a beacon of love and compassion. He is survived by his wife, Gloria Deegan; daughter, Amber Schar; son-in-law, Peter Schar; and grandson, Logan Schar. Ted's family finds comfort in knowing that he has been reunited with those who have gone before him, and they are grateful for the time they were blessed to share with him.
