elevated IXTzG Obituary
It is with deep sorrow, respect and love that we mourn the passing of Ted Joseph Banar, age 92 on Monday, August 18th, 2025. Loving Husband of pre-deceased wife, Hedy Mary Banar (nee Kostorowski). Cherished father of Teresa Anne Banar, with husband Kelly Overholt Manson, and Janice Marie Zajac, with late husband, Richard Zajac. Ted is also pre-deceased by his beloved brothers, Ron, Ben and Joe Blotnicky. If there’s a “Downsview” in Heaven, that’s where you’ll find them…together at long last.

So sorry for your loss cousin Janice and Teresa. He’s now with the love of his life Aunt Hedi and wonderful son in-law Richard. Be strong.
Thank you, Laurie, for reaching out like this. Appreciate it and I hope to see you on Wednesday if you can make it. My Dad’s with his 3 Brothers now and my Mom at long last. Family meant everything to him. Take care!
Uncle Ted you will always be in my memories. I often think back to the times we would visit and you would show me your trains. I loved those times.
Sincere condolences Theresa and Janice
