Theodore “Ted” Allen Stutzman

d. May 12, 2013

 
Theodore “Ted” Allen Stutzman, 72, entered the loving arms of Jesus on May 12, 2013, in Peabody.
  • Ted was born to Theo Grace (Allen) Lawler and Walter Jacob Stutzman on Feb. 17, 1941, in Peabody. He graduated from Newton High School in 1959. He served four years in the United States Air Force.
