About	Theodore (Ted) Edward Frauman, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, born on June 14, 1937 in Cincinnati, Ohio, to the late Pauline and Walter Frauman, passed away at age 81 on July 1, 2018. He died peacefully after a series of physical health setbacks in recent years. Ted always had a good story to tell drawn from his life experiences and humble upbringing. He graduated from Maryville College in Tennessee in 1959. His first post-college employer was his last having taught for 39 years in Broward County Florida Schools, most of it at Boyd Anderson High School, where he was Chair of the Social Studies Department for 25 years until retiring in 1999. Ted was the loving husband of Karen, his wife of nearly 58 years. He was preceded in death by his brother, Walter, and survived by his wife and sons, Eric and David, their respective wives Laura & Debi, and three grandsons Stephen, Jason & Andrew. Ted loved sports particularly watching the Marlins and Dolphins play. He loved teaching and then watching his sons play sports in their youth, and then once they were adults competing in Ultimate Frisbee tournaments - he was their biggest fan. While his kids were young he and Karen spent lots of time at the beach with their sons and regularly took vacations in their beloved popup camper. Ted loved to sing; the church choir and men s chorus played a significant role in his adult life. He also sang in the Vesper Choir while at Maryville College, and was a member of Alpha Sigma fraternity. He was a member of Christ United Methodist Church and the choir for 45 years, and upon retirement volunteered at the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society teaching elementary school kids what life was like in the early 20th century.
