Theodore “Ted” Manicki passed away unexpectedly at home, April 15, 2024. He was born September 23, 1945 at St. Mary’s of Nazareth Hospital in Chicago, IL.

He served in the Vietnam War. Ted was an avid fisherman and always knew where the good spots were. If you knew Ted he was often in the garage, beer in hand working on many different muscle cars. He is now reunited with his mother Annette and his father John Manicki. 

He is survived by his loving grandchildren Brittany (Zach) of Randolph, WI, Stephanie (Logan) of Clinton, IA, Cameron (Caitlin) of Low Moor IA; 7 great grandchildren; siblings Tony (Cinda) Manicki, Jim (Sarah) Manicki, and Carol Schaub; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Ted wished to be cremated and his remains to be given to the grandchildren to cherish his memories. A Celebration of Life will be planned by his grandchildren at a later date.
