He was born on January 27, 1954 in Fremont, OH to Harlan L. & Peggy (Yoh) Lea. His father preceded him in death and his mother survives in Largo, FL.
On July 30, 1979, he married Terri L. Frey who survives in Waynesfield.

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.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the American Cancer Society.
