Theodore Krawitz passed away peacefully at home Saturday, July 18, 2020 surrounded by his loving family. He was 85.
Ted was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was born and raised in Syracuse, NY. After graduating Nottingham High School, Ted studied Finance at Syracuse University. He graduated in 1956 from what is now the Whitman School of Management. As a student, he was President of the Traditions Commission. He was also nominated by the Chancellor to become a member of Tau Theta Upsilon Senior Men’s Honorary Fraternity. As a proud member of the fraternity Zeta Beta Tau, he maintained and cherished his friendships and memories for a lifetime.
Ted pursued a long and successful career in the financial services industry, serving as a Financial Advisor and First Vice President of Investments in the Syracuse office of Wells Fargo Securities for 47 years. He appeared Friday mornings on WSTM-TV to discuss the stock market with news anchor Paula Garell. He was frequently visited by the media when financial crises arose. He retired at age 70.
He was very proud that both of his daughters followed in his footsteps and became Syracuse University alumnae. His Orange pride remained strong throughout his life. Not only was he a die-hard basketball and football fan, but he also spent 60 years as the chairman of his class reunion, spearheading a dozen reunions.
He was a member of Temple Adath Yeshurun, LaFayette Country Club, and the Cavalry Club.
Ted will forever be remembered for his warm smile, contagious laugh and the twinkle in his eye.
He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years Beverley, daughters Jackie (Jeff) Berger and Kim (Jonathan) Stadin and grandchildren Andrew, Matthew, Jocelyn and Ava.
Private graveside services are in Adath Yeshurun Cemetery.
