Edward Lee Teter

Ed Teter, beloved brother, husband, father and grandfather, passed away April 1st, 2010, after a heroic 5 year battle with cancer. He was 61. Born May 3, 1948 to the late Billie and Edward Teter Sr., Ed spent his childhood in Corsicana, Texas before moving to Northridge, California for high school. He and Judith Keener were married on May 3rd 1981, in Ojai, California, where they resided for 29 years. Ed was a proud member of the Los Angeles City Fire Department since 1972, where he worked for 37 years. He was respected and loved by his firemen family. Ed always volunteered his time and energy in times of need. He worked along his fellow firemen in relief efforts post 911 at Ground Zero, assisted with the construction of new homes following Katrina, and helped build an orphanage in Mexico. He was always giving back. For the last 6 years, Ed enjoyed such precious moments with his family as driving his grandchildren around in the Kabota, taking annual summer trips to Lake San Antonio and volunteering to babysit at every opportunity. His grandchildren were the “light of his life”. He leaves many wonderful memories to his family: wife Judy, sisters Lynda and Ellen, children Ginger, Holly, Amber, Jedidiah and Jamie, son-in-laws, and grandchildren Sage (5), Aspen (4), Peter (3), Jorgia (3), Riley (2), Natalie (2), Jacob (1) and one on the way. He will be missed by many.
