Theodore March Obituary
Freehold
Theodore R. March (Ted) died January 31, 2013 at Raritan Bay Medical Center Old Bridge, NJ following a long illness. Born in Reading, PA to the late Dr. Linton E. March and Viola R. March-Good. He attended Birdsboro High School and Muhlenberg College and was active in soccer, basketball and track. Always trying to win, losing wasn't in his vocabulary. Ted worked in the magazine industry in sales and circulation starting in 1956 for the Philadelphia Inquirer, National Enquirer, Playboy and Kable News Company moving from Washington DC, Gettysburg PA, Boca Raton FL, Lombard IL and Freehold NJ giving his family the opportunities to experience many different ways of life. Boating was always a part of his life. He purchased his first boat with his winnings from a drawing at the Diamond Theater in Birdsboro in the early 50's. He raced boats for many years on the Schuylkill, Susquehanna, Hudson and Delaware Rivers achieving both World & National records. Ted passed his enthusiasm and love of boating on to both his sons who also raced boats.
He is predeceased by a son Bruce Linton March in 1999. He is survived by his wife of 54 years Nancy (Kurtz) March. Also surviving are a daughter Joelyn (March) Stefani wife of Eugene Stefani of Freehold NJ and a son Scott Paul March, wife Michelle March and two grandsons Tyler Scott and Parker Linton of Port Barrington, IL and sister in law Laura Mae Babb of Birdsboro, PA.
In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to the Cancer Society or Animal Rescue League PO Box 69 Mohnton PA 19540.
Services at the Dengler Funeral Home, Inc. 144 N. Spruce St., Birdsboro, PA on Wednesday, February. 6, 2013 at 11:00 AM a viewing will be held 1 hour prior to the service. Interment in Birdsboro Cemetery.
