Ted Faustin Lawnicki

January 25, 1950 - March 30, 2022

Ted Faustin Lawnicki January 25, 1950 – March 30, 2022 Ted Faustin Lawnicki, age 72 of Chesterton, Indiana, passed away Wednesday, March 30, 2022. He was born January 25, 1950 in Fort Ord, California. He attended Thornridge High School and Purdue University. Ted proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1969 – 1971, where he attained the rank of SP5 in less than 2 years. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal and the Vietnam Campaign Medal. Ted was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Polish Legion of American Veterans – USA, Vietnam Veterans of America, the Moose Lodge and the Elks. After hitting a few bumps in the road on his journey in the service industry, Ted settled down and moved to Chesterton and retired from Arcelor Mittal Steel in 2020 where he worked as a millwright and electrician. There he was affectionately known as “Special Ted” and “The Goalie”, as he was extremely safety conscious and nothing ever got by him. He had also been a motorcycle safety instructor for the ABATE of Indiana organization. He touched many lives and will be sorely missed by the family and friends he left behind. He is survived by his brother, Terry Lawnicki of New Smyrna Beach, Florida; his nephews Jason Lawnicki and David (Lura) Lawnicki and his niece Michelle (James) Lawnicki. A military funeral service to honor Ted will be held on Thursday, April 14, 2022 at Calumet Park Cemetery and Funeral Chapel, 2305 West 73rd Ave, Merrillville, Indiana 46410. Guests planning to attend the service are asked to meet at the Calumet Park Funeral Chapel located at 7535 Taft St, Merrillville, Indiana at noon on Thursday, April 14, 2022. A reception is planned later from 4 P.M. – 8 P.M. at Leroy's Hot Stuff, 333 US-20 E, Porter, Indiana. Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to the Vietnam Veterans of America or a charity of your choice. Edmonds & Evans entrusted with arrangements. Online condolences to the family may be made at Edmonds & Evans website www.ee-fh.com
