Ted had many hobbies over his lifetime including building and flying model airplanes, photography, developing his own pictures, building and shooting black powder rifles, and going to Rendezvous of the 1840s era, where mountain man re-enactments were experienced by the whole family. Ted had been to every state in the U.S. with the exception of Florida. The family enjoyed traveling extensively together, starting out with a tent camper in 1973 and enjoying many trips with different RVs. Ted and Jean also enjoyed their travels to all of the Canadian Provinces (with the exception of Labrador and Nunavut) especially enjoying Nova Scotia and Newfoundland; they also made many trips to Alaska. Ted had been to Alaska five times altogether, in 1957, 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2003. Their Christmas card list had grown to over one hundred addresses including family and friends. He is survived by his wife Jean; and two children, Beth (Holland) Linscott and her husband Michael of Seattle, Washington; Bruce Holland and his wife, Chanel, two granddaughters, Lindsey and Taylor of Kuna, Idaho; a half-brother, James Holland of Texas and many cousins and numerous friends. Faith, Family and Friends see us through life's trials. Ted will be missed.
