"Ted was in my memory and always will be the sweet, loving, generous, funny of a second Father to me growing up. Any yet, those same attributes are how I would describe the whole Maglio family and how much love they radiate towards each other and towards anyone who comes in contact with them. It is a great testament to their Father Ted and Mother Jean who raised them and loved them totally. I have many memories of Ted from Erin Street, Labardino's, the Cottage and Family Fun night. He always had a smile on his face, laughter in his belly, love in his heart and much kindness to share with the world. When I needed a job between semesters one year in collage, it was Ted who came to my rescue and gave me a hostess job or the pan of fried bacon he presented when making breakfast for us kids up at the Cottage. I just want to say to his family that your memories of your Father will live on in each one of you and will console you. I will never forget Ted and my heartfelt condolences go out to all of you. With much love, Jackie S "
In loving memory of
Theodore J. Maglio
March 17, 1928 - December 18, 2019
Theodore (Ted) Maglio, age 91, passed away on December 18, 2019, surrounded by family. Ted was born to Sal and Peggy Maglio on St. Patrick's Day - March 17, 1928, in Milwaukee, WI. He was united in marriage to Jean Doyle on April 21, 1951 at St. Raphael's Cathedral in Madison. As a young man, Ted was a City of Madison fireman and a sales manager for Oscar Mayer before he decided to purchase a small business. As a family, Ted and Jean purchased and ran Lombardino's Garden Restaurant for 25 years.
Ted was a devoted husband and a wonderful son, dad, grandpa, great-grandpa, uncle, and friend. With Ted and his wife Jean, family came first. And the meaning of "family" was extended to everyone. He opened his doors to friends who didn't have family around for the holidays. He offered up space to sleep and money to those who were going through a rough time and had none. He fed those who were hungry. Ted loved his family gatherings, they meant much to him. He brought life to a party and smiles to everyone's faces with his sense of humor whenever he walked into a room.
He had many hobbies including trout fishing with his sons, oil painting, and in later years, hunting at the Terry family farm. Ted was a proud supporter of the Wisconsin Badgers and the Green Bay Packers.
Ted was preceded in death by his beloved wife Jean, daughter Joanie, son-in-law John (J.T.), brother Carlo, and sister Penny, as well as Richard Bauhs, Patsy Bauhs, Mary Urso, John Timothy Urso, James Doyle, Pat Doyle, and Victor Doyle.
He is survived by his children Dianne (J.T), Ted (Sarah), Tom (Paula), Mary Kay (Jeff), Tony (Beth), and Tim (Lynn); 14 grandchildren, Anne, Erinn (Dan), John, Ted Jr., T.J. (Morgan), Lindsay, Kari (Josh), Ellen (Josh), Kathryn, Daniel, Benjamin, Joseph, Samantha, and Ashley; 7 great-grandchildren, Emily, Michael, Vincent, Julian, Kaylee, Jonah, and Lillian; and many, much loved nieces, nephews, and friends.
