Theodore B. Price

Maj. Theodore "Ted" Price, Ret, a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on May 30, 2026. Born on March 17, 1949, Ted was a man known for his knowledge, playful humour, and technological savviness. At the heart of his life was his family, and he is predeceased by his parents Theodore and Virginia Price and his son-in-law, Armando Rodriguez. Ted is lovingly remembered by his wife, Mary Price, daughters Elizabeth D'sa and Christine Whittington, and grandsons Gabriel and Isaac Rodriguez. He is also remembered by his sons-in-law, Dylan D'sa and Christian Whittington.

Ted graduated high school from Cranwell Catholic preporatory boarding school for boys in Lenox, MA in 1967 and then went on to graduate from the University of Notre Dame in 1971. His career was marked by his service to the country as a tanker pilot in the US Air Force, beginning his role in 1971 and retiring in 1991. A Vietnam veteran, the Air Force also afforded him the opportunity to receive his Master's Degree in 1981. In 2006, he started working at Bombardier as a flight instructor, but the role also allowed him to do what he loved most: flying.

Throughout his life, Ted preferred the simpler pleasures. His favorite drink was Coors Light and favorite dessert was always cheesecake (though not consumed together!). On a lazy evening, Ted could often be found watching live sports, with a particular fondness for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Texas Rangers teams. He enjoyed being a member of a Fantasy Football league for many years.

Ted's recreational pursuits were diverse. His childhood memories of Cape Cod, where he spent many fond vacations, remained with him, and he always enjoyed being out on the water. He loved to sail and his most recent vacation to the Virgin Islands was a live-aboard catamaran for a week with his family. At home, he was an early adopter of technology and computer systems, and enjoyed tinkering and building new systems for personal use. One of his favorite uses of the computer was playing flight simulator games, even after getting home from a long day of flying or instructing!

As the eldest of six children, his family moved frequently during his early years, fostering in Ted a resilience that remained with him throughout his life. With him being the prankster that he was, he helped his siblings develop a different kind of resilience of their own. He loved puns and his quirky sense of humor later put the "dad" in dad jokes. But he had a serious side and would throw himself into any job with intensity. Ted's legacy extends beyond his personal life. He was proud of his military career and equally proud of raising his two daughters. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
