- Theodore A. "Ted" Huiting, 92, of Little Chute, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Friday, December 18, 2015. He was born on August 2, 1923, in North Dakota, son of the late John and Anna Huiting. Ted married Jule Vanden Heuvel on October 5, 1944, at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church, Little Chute. Together they recently celebrated 71 years of marriage.
Ted proudly served his country during WWII as a member of the United States Air Force. After the service, he spent many years as a salesman in the automotive supply industry. After retiring the first time, Ted went back to work at Larry's Piggly Wiggly and did just about anything they needed, and he truly enjoyed doing just that. He was a "Mr. Fix It" type of guy, taking on any kind of project that was presented. Ted enjoyed wood working, and a lot of his furniture and handy work is displayed in the homes of his children and grandchildren. He was most importantly a wonderful husband, father and grandfather that will be dearly missed.
Ted is survived by his beloved wife, Jule; sons: Tom (Sandy), Richard (Esther), Tim, and Mark (Anne) Huiting; daughters: Marsha (Tom) Guckenberg and Ann (Jim Weigman) Huiting; daughter-in-law, Paula Huiting; grandchildren: Mindy (John) Hollander, Mike (Bridget) Huiting, Brian, Joe (Tracy) and Craig Huiting, Matthew (fiancé Shirin) and Meg Guckenberg, Allissa (Andrew) Hanlon, Maggie Huiting, Eric (Renee) McGuire and Amy (Joseph) Sell; great grandchildren: Jillian, Evan, Rachel, Jacob, Noah, Kailey, Owen, Morgan, Raegan, Archer and Aiden; sisters-in-law: Mona Bouressa and Doris Vanden Heuvel; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Ted was preceded in death by a son, Terry Huiting; his parents and eight brothers and sisters.
