JEFFERSON - Theodore Paul Clukay, 82, died on April 21st at the Coos County Nursing Hospital after a long five year battle with Parkinsons and Lewy Body dementia.
Ted was born on March 23rd, 1935 in Lancaster to Hilda Nevers of Jefferson. He was raised and "spoiled" on the Nevers family farm and attended the Jefferson Schools. He married Barbara Page in 1953. They had three sons and moved to New York where he worked on several farms as a herdsman. After obtaining a degree in Blacksmithing and Farriering from Cornell University he worked private duty and on the horseracing circuit.
In 1970 he and his family moved back to Jefferson and purchased the Elkins Sugar House. They ran it as the Water Wheel Sugar House and Restaurant into the late 90's. Ted and his son Craig operated T&C Logging for over 20 years until Ted's retirement.
Ted achieved quite a lot on his "Bucket List". He traveled across America, into Canada, sailed to St. Thomas and visited Scotland. Ted loved to spend time hunting, fishing and dancing to the "mule skinner blues". He was a town selectman for several years.
Surviving family members include his sons Bruce Clukay of Windermere, Florida, Craig Clukay of Jefferson; granddaughters Lindsay Annicchiarico, Carrie Hopps; grandsons Chris and Ian Clukay; four great-grandchildren; special nephews and nieces and two best friends, Bruce Cairns and Paul Thurston.
