Telesfore “Ted” P. Wysocki, 79, of New Berlin, WI, entered Eternity on Thursday, August 4, 2022. Ted was born December 17, 1942, in Milwaukee. He was a graduate of Marquette University High School and Marquette University. He received a Master’s Degree from UW Whitewater.

Ted served his community of New Berlin in many ways over 38 years, including 11 years as the District 2 Alderman, four years as the Mayor of New Berlin, as well as serving as a member of the Golf Course Commission and the New Berlin Police and Fire Commission. Most recently he served as Waukesha County Supervisor for the last six years. Ted’s involvement goes beyond City and County Government. He was a proud veteran of the United States Army and supported other veterans in leadership roles in the VFW Post 5716 and as an organizer of the New Berlin Veterans Memorial. He has been an active member of the New Berlin Lions Club and the New Berlin Senior Taxi. He served on the 128th Air Refueling Wing Community Council and formerly served on the 440th Airlift Wing Community Council. He was named New Berlin’s Citizen of the Year in 2019.

In his non-professional life, Ted deeply loved his large family and the times they spent together. He was known as “Bubba” to his seven grandkids and liked nothing more than building rockets, spending time with them and helping them grow up to be the best people they could be. Ted is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Pat; children, Meg (Steve) Gardner, Joe (Peg) and Laura (Olmy) Olmstead; grandchildren, Jake, Henry, and George Gardner, Charles, Benjamin, and Isaac Wysocki, and Abigail Olmstead; and brother Mark (Dorothy) Wysocki. He was preceded in death by his parents, Telesfore and Genevieve Wysocki, and his sister, Pamela (Jeff) Freitag.

Ted led a full life both professionally and personally. Family and friends are invited to gather at Krause Funeral Home, 12401 W. National Ave., New Berlin, on Saturday, August 13, 2022, from 9:00AM to 12:00PM. Guests may join in the  procession to Holy Apostles Catholic Church, 16000 W. National Ave., New Berlin, for a Funeral Mass at 1:00PM. Luncheon will be served at Armeli’s Restaurant, 16201 W. National Ave., following the Mass. You are invited to come and share memories of Ted throughout the afternoon. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the New Berlin Veterans Memorial Society.

My condolences to Ted’s family and friends. I have fond memories of Ted and his parents from my childhood, Ted very sociable and always smiling. I spent my early childhood in New Berlin, my father building a home in Lincoln Hills in the mid 50s. My mother was Dolores ‘Doree’ Wysocki, one of three daughters (Molly, Lorraine, both deceased) to William (Bill) Wysocki (Ted’s brother) and Cecilia. My father was Roger Parlee. I have two siblings, Bonnie and Randy, both living in the Milwaukee area. My wife Colleen and I have our home in Honolulu, we have two sons, Zachary and Lachlan, both in their late 20’s. The attached photo may be of interest to you. Appears as if I am able to attached only one photo here, if you provide an email address, I have more to share if you are interested. Love and Aloha!

Ted was one of the finest legislators I served with. Truly a class act. Ted was very tenacious but respectful when he questioned presenters, but make no mistake, he didn't leave without answers. I will miss him very much. Rest in peace Ted.

Ted was a wonderful man. The new berlin vets memorial was extremely important to him. Thanks for your contribution to new berlin Ted, you will be missed. Thanks for your friendship as well, prayers to your family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Knew his sister Pam, which was my brother (Jeff’s) wife. We got to know Ted & there brother Mark through Pam. Ted had a way about him that when he walked into a room he made you feel comfortable. He will be missed deeply.

Uncle Ted always had a way of making you smile when you were around him. His laugh was infectious, and his warmth and compassion always evident in all he did. I know he and my mom are sharing time together now, always watching over us…❤️

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Ted. He was my dad William Koch’s 1st cousin. He always asked about “Teddy”as he called him. Ted died on my fathers birthday August 4 how fitting. The Wysocki family has lost a super person with the passing of Ted. We will keep you in our hearts and sending hugs your way. So sorry!

The 1st 2 things Ted said to us when we built a new house on his block was welcome to the neighborhood and thanks for increasing my property value. Haha I loved it. He was always jovial, fun, and positive. I felt good just being around him. Even when he was going through his cancer treatments he was not down. What a inspiration. And like my wife said, seeing him driving in his sports car with that hat on, looked like he was in heaven, but now I know he is.
