He is buried in California.
Family
He was survived by his wife, two sons, and a daughter. (Though this report says he had four children with Ann.) One of the sons was a LTjg in June 1983; seems likely his name was Ted '81, who also was a Naval Aviator. His mother was Gertrude, and his sisters were Barbara and Patricia.
