Known for his warm smile and quiet strength, Ted was a man of few words, but when he spoke, people listened.

Theodore O. Boynton Jr., 95, of Milford, CT, passed away peacefully on January 23, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was the beloved husband of the late Anna M. Boynton. Born on September 17, 1929, in Bridgeport, he was the son of the late Alice McGormand and Theodore Boynton Sr. Ted grew up in Bridgeport, CT and graduated from Harding High School before moving to Milford, CT.

Ted then enlisted and proudly served in the United States Navy aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt. After being honorably discharged, he worked as an electrician, dedicating over 35 years to US Motors and Bic Pen.

Ted then met Anna, the love of his life, during their daily commutes to work
at US Motors. Their bond grew through hard work and shared values, and they
were married on June 30 1956, beginning a long and joyful 68-year marriage
where they never left each other’s side.
