“Serving others” has always been a big part of Ted Pankiewicz’ job descriptions. After one year of college, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he served as a Morse code interpreter from 1965 through 1968. Then he joined the Irvington Police Department, in New Jersey, as a patrolman, serving as a K-9 handler and trainer until he retired in 1994.
