Edward “Ted” Creelman passed away suddenly on the evening of Saturday October 29.

Ted was an extraordinary man. He was an avid reader, loving crime and mystery novels above all. When he wasn’t reading, he loved doing crossword puzzles, especially his weekly challenge from the New York Times.

When he wasn’t reading or working a puzzle, he loved to be outside. For many years he spent much of his time on one of his countless bicycles. Not only did he enjoy riding, but also the maintaining and repairing his bicycles was almost as pleasurable.

He spent much of his working life with his brother as a carpenter. Using his artists’ eye and his sharp focus he helped create beautiful cabinetry for many homes.

He was a loving, caring partner to Janice, a great father to Tyler, and a devoted, dedicated and loyal son and brother.

Ted was pre deceased by mother Rita, father Harvey, and brother James. He is survived by his partner Janice, son Tyler, brother Brian, and sister in law Marilyn.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and were fortunate enough to spend time with him.

“Heaven is a better place today because of this, but the world is just not the same.”
