Ted was born in Kansas City, MO on December 3, 1934, to Harlond (Ted)
Cluck Sr. and Hazel Cluck.  They moved to
Denver when Ted was a baby.  In 1945, the
family moved to Richland where Ted graduated from Columbia (Richland) High

married the love of his life Betty Shane. 
They lived in Pasadena, CA, Covington, WA, and Vancouver, WA before
moving back to Richland in 1975. 

Ted retired from Westinghouse Hanford in 1993 after 18 years of
service, where he worked as a Quality Control Inspector, and Material
Coordinator.  Ted and his wife enjoyed
traveling around after retirement before returning back to Richland. 

Ted was a very loyal and loving husband, father, and grandfather.  He always put his family first.  His grandchildren provided such joy to
him.  He was sought out by so many people
for his wisdom and strength.  He always
provided such a calming atmosphere wherever he was.  He had strong hands and a warm heart.  He was a gentleman and providing for his wife
and family were a priority for him.  He
loved to watch sports, especially basketball, which he played as a
teenager.  He also loved working around
in his yard and working on his vehicles.
