Thadeus Kielar Obituary
Ted was born to Frank Kielar and Antoinette Stoklosa Kielar in Whites Crossing PA. He lived most of his adult life in East Longmeadow, MA and moved to Bedford, NH after retirement as a manufacturing engineer for United Technologies.
He was preceded in death by his cherished wife Romayne Bein Kielar, his brothers Bernard and Frank, and his sister Mary Ann Kowalczyk. He is survived by his sister Martha Lubash of Mayfield, PA, daughter Karen Courter of Westford, MA, sons Ted Kielar of Buford, GA and Mark Kielar of Boca Raton, FL, 8 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Ted will always be remembered for his devotion to and love for his family, sense of humor, love of baseball, and kind heart. He was the guy friends called when they needed to know how to fix something. He was the person you could depend on no matter what.
A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at St. Elizabeth Seton Church, Bedford, NH on Wednesday, September 17 at 10 a.m. A private burial will immediately follow the Mass at St. Joseph Cemetery in Bedford, NH.
