Ted and I stayed in touch after graduating 1965. In the 70s, I opened Michigan's first Pinball Arcade in Ann Arbor by the U of M campus, Ted wanted to open one himself. So, after looking for just the right location, Ted moved to Mt Pleasant MI. Together we opened up the "Malt Shop" right off of the Northern Michigan University's Campus.

Ted ran the Malt Shop for several years. It was uniquely designed and decorated to keep the flavor and traditions of  the Malt Shop we frequented growing up.  It became THE spot for the University students to have a great sandwich,  a hand dipped ice cream cone or a milk shake  that he served with the shiny metal mixing cup just like we had growing up (Eagle Dairy & others around Mumford)   

What set the Malt Shop apart from our competition, was that it had a lower level and adjoining store that contained over 50 pinball machines and  30+ classic Video games!  Ted added a great sound system to complete the effect.  

The Malt Shop was his pride and joy! Everyone knew Ted and he knew most of his customers by name. Although his life was cut short, we all loved him and respected who he was and what he had accomplished.

I hope many of the Mumford grads had the opportunity to know Ted.  I miss him to this day!

Ted was an original and truly a Pinball Wizard!

Ted was, for certain, one of a kind.  He was highly intelligent, very funny, very kind and a loyal friend.  I visited him several times in Mt. Pleasant, where he was buried, and he dearly loved his Malt Shoppe and Mt. Pleasant family.  He is remembered and he is missed.  Neil Schneider
