Theodore Astor Viverette (Ted) of California, MD, passed away Sunday, June 21, 2015. He was born May 13, 1932 in Washington, DC and was the beloved son of the late Roy and Beulah Viverette, and brother to the late Mary Lambert, Sidney Viverette, and Powell Viverette.

He is survived by his loving wife, Alice Viverette, his three daughters, Mary Shatrowsky, Lisa Viverette, and Patricia Hoover, his two sons-in-law, David Shatrowsky and Paul Hoover, two grandchildren, Lauren and Thomas Hoover, and his dear sister, Lucy Hicks.

Ted grew up in Hyattsville, MD and had many adventures from getting hit by a car at age 6 to getting thrown into a barbed wire fence from an ex-racehorse as a teenager. Ted was also an excellent pool player and enjoyed many games with family and friends.

He met his lovely bride, Alice, in 1952 and they wed on June 20, 1953. He joined the Marine Corp during the Korean War and was a dedicated veteran. Ted held many jobs to support his family including banker, police officer, head of security at Kings Dominion, but ultimately worked in dosimetry at Baltimore Gas, and Electric Company where he retired in 1990.
