KINGSFORD -- Teddy W. Votaw, 71, of Kingsford, passed away at his home on Friday, Feb. 19, 2021.
Teddy was born in Denver, on July 28, 1949, son of Warren and Charlene (Kraft) Votaw. Following high school graduation, Teddy completed two years of college and went on to pursue a career in technology, subsequently working for Exabyte Corp. in Boulder, Colo.
He even had the opportunity, for a period of time, to work on a backup unit that had been to the moon! On Feb. 14, 1987, he and Kay Johnson eloped to Santa Fe, N.M., and the couple recently celebrated their 41 years together.
Teddy loved to travel, having visited Scotland, Italy, Australia, and various places throughout the U.S. He was also adventurous, paragliding in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., snorkeling off a catamaran in the Carribean, and even riding in a stunt biplane and a glider in Colorado.
An active member of Pine Grove Country Club from 2013-2018, Teddy not only enjoyed golfing, but also reading, working on home improvements, gardening projects, photography, astronomy, and cross-country skiing. He was an avid fan of the Denver Broncos.
Left to cherish Teddy's memory is his loving wife, Kay; sister, Pat Kreiling; sister-in-law, Mary Ann Wyble; brother-in-law, Dave Johnson; nieces, Shelby, Laine, and Kristen; nephew, Isaac; as well as many other relatives and friends too numerous to mention all by name.
In addition to both parents, Teddy was preceded in death by two brothers-in-law, Tom Kreiling and Aaron Wyble, and many beloved pets.
Respecting Ted's wishes, no services will be held.
