Every Thursday night on Erie News Now we honor local veterans and their families in a long-running series entitled Remembering Our Veterans.

This week Mike Ruzzi is sharing the story of 97-year-old Ted Wardzinski, a Korean War veteran. 

Ted joined the Air Force four years after graduating from high school. For decades, he lived in this house on 2821 Ash Street in Erie.

It’s the same house his father bought in 1941. Ted is the father of two girls. His wife passed over ten years ago.

He has a passion for meal prep and keeping busy outdoors. 

Ted Wardzinski, thank you for your service.
