Theodore “Ted” Grubbs died peacefully at the Kingsland Hills Care Center in Kingsland, Texas, on Feb. 16, 2017, at the age of 84. He resided in Granite Shoals and Highland Haven for the past 22 years, after having lived in Huntsburg, Ohio, for most of his life.
Ted is survived by his children, William Grubbs (Linda), Roger Grubbs (Theresa), James Grubbs (Teresita), Linda Watson (Dean), Marsha Grubbs, and Daniel Grubbs (Stephanie); 29 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; and brother, Robert Grubbs of Garrettsville, Ohio.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 64 years, Ann; parents, Theodore E. and Anna Grubbs; and sister, Jean Sumer.
Ted was born in Huntsburg on a dairy farm. He worked for several years at Geauga Industries and then as a manager at Horning Building Supply in Middlefield, Ohio, until he retired to Highland Haven.
He enjoyed playing golf, fishing, and singing in any band who would let him sing. He loved spending time with his family. He played football and baseball in high school and had several scholarship offers to play in college, but he enlisted in the Naval Reserves instead.
Per Ted’s wishes, he will be cremated and the ashes returned to his family. A burial will take place this summer at Huntsburg Cemetery with his wife’s ashes as well.

God bless you all, great man who will be dearly missed, He lives on in all of you.
May you rest in peace Ted
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We have many fond memories of Uncle Ted, he always seemed to have a great story and made everyone laugh. It was always a hoot to see him at the Family Reunions. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
I’m so sorry for everyone’s loss! Uncle Ted always had a smile on his face! I sure do miss that smile! Always had funtaking a trip with grandma(Vivienne) and Chris to see him and aunt Sissy! Love you guys!
So sorry for your loss. I remember Uncle Ted and your mom when they lived in Huntsburg & my parents always talk fondly of them! You’re in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss. We are keeping your family in our prayers.
Condolences to my cousins and Ted’s extended family. He was a great guy. The bit about him singing in any band that would let him made me smile. I remember he had this great voice and could really belt out a tune. I think he got at least one song in at everyone’s wedding. He was a good actor too. I remember seeing him in an amateur theatre production in Huntsburg. He stole the show. The world is just a little bit poorer for his passing but we are all that much richer for him being in our lives. Godspeed Uncle Teddy and tell Aunt Ann we send our love!
