We looked really hard to get in touch with Teddy to send us his bio. David
B even PAID one of those websites that claims to find anyone for you. An
obit was found for Teddy's daughter Staci and her husband (they were
killed in May 2010 by a disgruntled employee), and a Ted Froderman was
listed as a relative. A person named Joan was also named, and I vaguely
remembered that Teddy's first wife was named Joan. I checked for his last
name on Facebook and found Joan, who has remarried and has a new last
name. I wrote asking her if she knew where Teddy was.
She did. At that time, he already had had a stroke and was in a Saudi
hospital. He had fallen in a Saudi street and had not had immediate care.
He developed gangrene in his leg and contracted some virulent infections
in the hospital. He was no longer married and had no home stateside, so it
took some organizing to get him shipped to a place near family. His
daughter Terri, whom he hadn't seen in 15 years, lives in Oregon, so he
was sent to a Portland hospital. After a couple of transfers, he ended up in
a rehab place not too far from his daughter. He lost his leg, and was
unable to overcome the infections even after taking the strongest of
antibiotics. Finally, he asked for treatment to be terminated, and he died
shortly thereafter on Jan. 12, 2011.
Many thanks are due to Teddy's former wife, Joan, and to his daughter,
Terri, for their help in getting this information.
Teddy was born in Temple, Texas, on Oct 15, 1941, and attended Tyler
Elementary School. His parents were well known to our class, as they
had a bakery in downtown Belton and provided pastries for class
events. Teddy was graduated from Tarleton State University with a
major in Business. There he met a classmate, Joan H, and they were
married. He joined the U.S. Army, serving three tours in Viet Nam.
After retirement from the Army as a Major, Teddy worked for various
companies on both coasts, including McDonnell Douglas and KMart. He
spent the last 15 years designing computer programs for the Saudi
Government in Saudi Arabia.
Teddy had four children: Terri is living in Grants Pass, Oregon. She is
married to Ricky and has two children: Nichole is a housewife. Brandon
graduated from high school last spring and became part of firefighting
crew in Oregon. Scott lives in San Diego and is a computer whiz like his
dad. T A and his wife Melissa are living in Peoria, AZ. They have two
children, Jackson, 3: and Regan, 9 months. Both T A and Melissa are
probation officers for famous “Sheriff Joe.” Staci and her husband
were killed in May 2010 by a disgruntled employee, leaving a 13-year-
old daughter, Avery. Avery is now living with her aunt and uncle in
Boston.
Teddy died on Jan. 12, 2011, in Oregon of infections he just couldn't
overcome.
