Theodore Hutz Obituary
Ted was born in Hackensack, NJ on August 2, 1928 to his parents Wolfgang and Anne (Beottger) Hutz. After graduating high school at 15 and then entering Dartmouth, he chose to follow his own path out West, starting as a construction laborer in Anchorage, AK from 1948 to 1950 and then traveled to Mexico to learn Spanish through 1951. After demonstrating leadership while working in Alaska, he served his country proudly in the US Army, from 1951 – 1953, assigned to Army artillery units stationed in Germany.
After receiving a bachelor's degree in History from UC Berkeley, Ted settled his family in Lodi/Stockton where he was a successful HVAC contractor for over 30 years at McLaughlin Air Conditioning and Heating Co. in Stockton, CA. Unwilling to fully retire he embarked on a second successful career as a real estate investor.
He is survived by his loving wife of over 66 years, Maureen (Brown) Hutz, four children Lisa (Greg) Olson, Theodore (Holli) Hutz, Karen Hutz, Marc (Valerie) Hutz, six grandchildren: Eric (Ana), Brittany, Maureen (Jonathan), Moses, Cole and Samuel, four great-grandchildren: Nicolas, Victoria, Elliot and Theo, a sister, Helen L (Hutz) Von der Lieth and nephew, Christopher Von der Lieth.
Memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 2nd at 11:00 am at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 701 S. Pleasant Ave. in Lodi, CA. Friends are invited to join family at Woodbridge Country Club following the service. In lieu of flowers, donations will be accepted for the BMW Club of Northern California in memory of Ted.

I met Ted about 30 years ago, and for years it was always a pleasant surprise to find Ted at one of our motorcycle club campouts or rally events. Larger than life describes Ted, who could opine on almost any subject in his baritone voice, and regale you with stories of his travels to Mexico or Australia. He was a big man with a big personality, a hearty laugh and will leave a hole in the lives of his many friends. My condolences to his family.

I may have never met Ted Senior but I know his daughters, Karen and Lisa. Knowing the awesome women they are today reflects well on their father. My heart-felt prayers for his daughters and the entire Hutz family go up to our loving, Heavenly Father. May your happy memories bring you much peace.

I knew Ted for around 20 years. Ted was a sage when it came to wisdom. Ted was the man. Ted had a presence, and the voice to go with it. With those two things in mind an unknowing person would think Ted to be a difficult person to deal with. In reality Ted was a very kind and generous man. He had a soft spot in his heart for those who needed him or what Ted could provide. I wish I could have seen Ted when he was in Mexico bargaining with the locals. Ted told good stories....interesting stories. Ted was a giant among the men in my life. Peace to you Ted.
May you ride on!
