Chalykoff, Theodore (Ted) Roderick (Died)

CHALYKOFF, Theodore (Ted), Roderick 22.xi.36 - 25.v.13 Our Red, red robin's gone bob-bob bobbin' along. Autodidact, accountant, golfer, gardener and mining executive, Ted was the son of Hazel (nee Wanless) and Rod Chalykoff. Brother of Judi and her husband, Tom. Ted was schooled in Toronto and Montreal, at St. Andrew's, and in Kapuskasing. Ted married Carolyn (nee Dewar) of Noranda, and then Oakville, where together they raised three children, Dan, Dean, and Lisa. He is survived by his second spouse, Marg Renton, and her generous children Pam, Glen, and Trish. Ted loved great sound, fast cars, fine suits, and a vigorous argument. He revered freedom fighters everywhere and loved to share new-found breakfast joints. He laughed with his whole body and his smile could light up a landscape. An ardent fan of Shakespeare, Napoleon, and Churchill, Ted was happiest talking politics and ideas. As the Robin advised, Live, love, laugh and be happy. In the end, it's all Dad wanted. (The Chalykoffs are deeply grateful for the compassion and understanding of the entire staff at Complex Continuing Care, Georgetown Hospital.)
