After finishing school, Ted began work at the young age of 16 with Atlantic Wholesalers making deliveries throughout the Valley. The next step a welding career with Avon Valley Greenhouses before accepting a position with the Department of Highways (Transportation). With DOH he travelled to various parts of the province utilizing his welding and mechanical skills to repair ferries, bridges and heavy equipment. Among many of his talents he was the first individual of the DOH to operate an automatic wire feeder for their welding system. During this time, he met many individuals whom he shared these experiences and remained friends with most until his passing. In the late 70’s he opened his own welding business in Stanley with Municipal Spraying becoming a major client, he later expanded to a trucking and backhoe service, which he continued to operate until 2018.
