Theodore J. "Ted" Zamorski Jr.

Theodore J. Zamorski, Jr. passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 10th, 2022, in the arms of his loving wife, Janice.

Ted was the son of late Theodore J. Zamorski, Sr., and Mary Ann (Lukaszewicz) born on June 14th, 1953 . On September 19th, 1975, was united in marriage to Janice (Kowalski) Zamorski.

Ted attended Thomas R. Proctor High School, graduating in 1971, MVCC and Delhi Tech. He worked at the Central NY Psychiatric Center, from 1972 and retiring in 1988 as Planner/Estimator.

Ted was an avid golfer, but Ted's first passion was bowling. He started out bowling at age 5 when his mom brought him to the Palace Bowling Lanes and later bowled at the Madison Bowling Alley. Ted's bowling started to heighten in part to becoming the New York State High School Athletic Champion in the team event. Later bowled in many adult leagues, not only being a member but as Secretary and Treasurer of some. When he met Janice, he taught her how to bowl the "right way" and they became a "team." They won NYS Doubles Championship in 2003. Ted bowled his first 300 on March 6, 1995, and then three more then with many 298's and 299's. He became a member of the Utica Bowling Association in 1992 as a Director working to promote the sport, then became the Association's President in 1997. Ted was inducted into the Utica Bowling Hall of Fame in 1998 of which he was immensely proud. While during that time his passion was Junior bowlers. He redevised the Utica Men's & Women's Bowling Scholarship award then executed the UBA "Past President's Scholarship Award." These two awards are still in existence as of today . Ted was so proud that he joined the Professional Bowling Association (PBA) in 1996 and bowled many tournaments from Reno, Nevada to Huntsville, Alabama, where he also met a lot of great people. Ted also bowled in many of the Professional Bowling Association's Pro Am tournaments that were held in Syracuse, NY, and was ecstatic that that he was paired to bowl with his idol, Earl Anthony, and beat him!

In 2010 His next passion was getting a motorcycle. While camping at Alpine Lake, a Honda Gold Wing Trike went by, and All Janice had to say was" I would ride on the back of that." Well, his wheels started turning and could not wait to get home and go online to scout one out. Janice never had to worry where to look for him as he would be in the garage with his bike shining that little beauty up. Ted and Janice were asked to come to a Chapter NY-T Meeting in 2011 and wondered what that was all about. Which they did. From there, they became members of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association , then were Assistant Chapter Directors of Chapter NY-T and then Chapter Directors. In 2016 he and Janice became NY District Assistant District Directors, then in 2017 and still to this day, NY District Directors. Ted was passionate about his GWRRA family and did all he could support this family , especially with the Rider Ed Instructors and University Instructors.

Ted enjoyed many Caribbean cruises with Janice along with camping, motorcycle trips to different Rallies or just taking rides just anywhere.

Ted had exceptional knowledge of plumbing, as an electrician, and a craftsman; he could fix about anything and build anything, a trait that was handed down to him by his dad.
Ted loved to volunteer especially at the Shriners Park for their Friday Fish Frys and at the Boilermaker Road Race.

He leaves his beloved wife, Janice and his adorable fur babies, Alicia, Beckett, and Carley- who he called his "ABC girls."

He leaves a brother, David, a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Chester and Pamela Kowalski; niece Heather (Scott) Martin and nephew Chester Kowalski III. He also leaves an aunt, Barbara Chudy, and many cousins.
