Theodore J. Konis Jr. “Ted” — long-time member and one of the founders of the Lincoln Pond Association — passed away on February 15, 2011 in Ft. Myers, Florida after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was 81 years of age.
Ted was born and raised in Albany and North Greenbush, N.Y. He attended Saint Patrick's Catholic School and graduated from Christian Brothers Academy in 1946. He founded Ted's Floor Covering and operated that business successfully for more than 20 years. He also established Ridgefield Building Corporation and built several residential and commercial structures that remain in use today.
After retiring in 1971, Ted spent summers at Lincoln Pond where he built and rented out 10 vacation cabins. He wintered in St. Cloud, Fla. and remained an avid hunter, fisherman, tennis player, bowler, seaplane pilot, water skier, roller skater and dancer.
