Edward Kenneth “Ted” Woodcock
1944 – 2024

Ted Woodcock took his last earthly breath at his Orr Lake home, surrounded by his devoted wife, Ruth, his daughter Jenn, his son Lou, grandsons Kai and Riley, sisters Lana and Linda, niece Tracey, and cherished family friend Mary.

Ted’s extended family, including his brother Bill, sisters-in-law Ruby, Marion, and Jean, Jennifer’s birth mother Sonya, as well as his nieces, nephews, and close family friends, were all present in spirit and shared in their loving goodbyes. Throughout his life, Ted created an incredible legacy of dedication, passion, and love.

Starting his career at Ontario Hydro in the control room at age 18, Ted worked his way up to become a Human Resources Officer, then a Home Inspector, Engineer, Electrician, builder, and sailor. He was also the Orr Lake steward for water quality and community, a Boy Scout Master, and a talented home chef. Ted was known for his warmth, humor, and unyielding commitment to family and community.

The family will hold a Celebration of Life on June 14, 2025, at 2:00 pm at his Orr Lake home. All are welcome to join this potluck gathering in honor of Ted’s life and legacy.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Ted’s memory may be made to SickKids Hospital, Alzheimer’s and Dementia charities, or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
