Ted was born on October 8, 1932 to Joseph and Belle Sommer in Bingham, UT. He met the love of his life, Shirley, at Blaine Elementary after moving to Salt Lake City. They were married April 12, 1952. He proudly served in the Thunderbird Division of the United States Army during the Korean War. He loved telling us stories about driving Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Bob Hope, and many other around during that time. When he returned home he started the first of many businesses which is still operating today, Sommer’s Auto Wrecking.
