Tadeusz "Mr. Ted" M. Kuc

Mr. Ted was an unforgettable man, one whose life was marked by service, devotion and quiet strength. A proud US Army Vietnam Veteran. He was awarded 2 bronze stars and various other military honors that reflect his courage and commitment. Though he rarely spoke of them, his service to his country showed his loyalty and selflessness. He proudly worked for Peoples Gas Company as the mechanic foreman.

In his younger years, Mr. Ted found joy in his love for racing pigeons, a passion that spoke to his patience, discipline and love of the tradition. Yet all of his roles in life he played, none mattered more to him than being a husband, father, brother and uncle.

He is the loving husband of Debby "Miss Deb," his wife of 52 years. Together they built a life grounded in love and family. He was a devoted father to May (Louis), Angela (Oscar), Teresa (Scott), Maria (Kyle), Christina, Diana (Rese) and Laura Mae. Loving grandfather to Pricilla, Daniel, Sebastian, Jayson, CJ, Austin, Preston, Jaxson, Dylan, Talya, Bella, Michael, Jade, Mitchell and Sofia.

Tadeusz will be remembered not only for what he did by for the kind of man he was: reliable, protective and unwavering in his commitment to those he cared for. His presence was steady, his love enduring and his legacy lives on through the family he built.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered. He was reunited in heaven with his grandson, Daniel.
