Ted was born August 4, 1945 in Lethbridge, Alberta to Art and Caroline Clayton. He grew up in Armstrong and attended school there. Later school years he worked summers for Ron Brown, plumbing and contracting. After graduation he attended NAIT in Edmonton finishing there as an electronics technician. He spent a few years on the prairies selling laboratory and medical equipment. Eventually the west came calling, and he went to Vancouver selling electronic components for several companies. The seventies saw him in Vernon where he worked in various capacities for several construction and contracting companies until his retirement. 

Ted is survived by one brother, Cam of Vernon, a daughter Brandee, and grandson Benjamin of North Vancouver. There will likely be a private gathering in his honor later this year.
