Ted was born December 21, 1939 the son of Richard and Rachel Clark of Meredosia. He married Nancy Williams on March 5, 1961 in Beardstown and they would have celebrated 60 years together this upcoming anniversary.

He and Nancy also spent their winters in Apache Junction, AZ where Ted enjoyed singing with the Choraliers, making people laugh in the Comedy Club and doing water aerobics almost every morning.

Ted never met a stranger and would gladly help with any car, tractor, or welding project for the bargain price of a cherry pie and a captive audience for one of his stories.
