Torgrimson, Ted Michael age 44 of Rochester, MN. Ted was fascinated by thunderstorms, animals, and water. His love for nature was matched by his love for friends, family, and telling bad jokes. He was affectionately known as "Uncle Ted" by his nieces and nephew who knew no other adult with such an appetite for play.
