Theodore Herman Grenberg of Belvidere passed into eternal life to reunite with his wife Audrey, the love of his life for 68 years.

"Ted" was born on August 12, 1926 to Herman Grenberg and Katherine Meyer in Rockford Illinois.

After graduating from East High School in Rockford he enlisted in the army and fought in the south Pacific in World War Two. Upon returning from the war he graduated from Rockford Business College and became an accountant with Sundstrand Corporation from which he retired after 38 years as Vice President and General Manager of Sundstrand Hydraulic Division.

Ted traveled extensively for work in Europe and Japan, and also greatly enjoyed family vacation trips to Florida and Hawaii. He was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Belvidere where he and Audrey served in various capacities for many years. Ted was also a very avid golfer and reader.

Ted is pre-deceased by his loving wife Audrey, Herman Grenberg (father), Katherine Grenberg (mother), Ruth Nelson (sister), Ron Grenberg (brother).

Ted is survived by his two children David (Carolyn) Grenberg, and Cheryl (Karl) Hamilton. Ted has three grandchildren Hilary Dietmeyer, Leanne (Brad) Toole, and Josh (Candace) Hamilton, and is also blessed with great grandchildren River, Bruce, Navy, and August.

Ted's family would like to express their thanks to Dr. Malaker and his staff for their many years of excellent care that they provided to him. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the loving staff, and extended family at Bickford of Rockford, and to Northern Illinois Hospice for their caring attentiveness.

In accordance with Ted's wishes the family will celebrate his life with a private ceremony. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Immanuel Lutheran Church of Belvidere, Northern Illinois Hospice, and the American Heart Association.
