Hampstead, NH:  Theodore 'Ted' Richard Krzesowski, 88, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 18th, 2024.

Born in Springfield MA, on December 9th, 1935, he was the son of Theodore and Stella [Gawlik] Krzesowski.  After proudly serving his country in the United States Air Force during the Korean War and earning a degree in electrical engineering at Boston's Wentworth Institute of Technology, Ted worked as a microwave engineer for Microwave Associates, Micro-Dynamics and Herley Industries for over 40 years in the Boston area.  He was a life-long parishioner of the Congregational Church, including participation at the First Congregational Church of Indian Orchard, the North Reading Union Congregational Church and locally and the Hampstead Congregational Church.

Ted is survived by his wife Paula Yolanda Guzman, sister Judith Krzesowski and her partner Aleksa, son Kenneth Krzesowski McLellan and his wife Kimberly, daughter Wendy Krzesowski, and grandchildren Sophie (21), Briar (19) and Charlotte (15).  He is also survived by Emery Bjerkmann, the mother of his children.

His outdoor interests were numerous and varied, and included sailing, kayaking, photography, volleyball, archeology and gardening.  Ted was extremely creative, and mechanically gifted.  During his 40-year residency in Hampstead, he was always fixing something for someone!  After building two cottages in Maine earlier in his life, he later created many beautiful pieces of custom stained glass art from his home studio.

Throughout his life, Ted had an intense, active interest in so many subjects.  He kept his curiosity high, and stayed learning his entire life.  Ted's heartfelt concern for the well-being of others was infectious - he made us want to be better, and do better.  He will be so missed, and his thoughtful spirit will be carried on by all those that knew him.

Ted and his wife Yolanda shared an inspirational bond of love and support for over 20 years, while tirelessly and unselfishly caring for others. Yolanda's family and local neighbors kept Ted very close, ensuring that he was engaged, needed and loved, each and every day.

Family, friends and neighbors are welcome to visit the Brookside Chapel & Funeral Home, 116 Main Street, Plaistow, NH to pay their last respects on Friday May 31, 2024 from 4 p.m. to 7 p. m. His funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 4 p.m. at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, online donations can be made as a memorial gift to the Merrimack River Watershed Council.  Ted spent many years both kayaking down and helping clean up this beautiful waterway.
