Theodore Adam Gielow

Theodore Adam “Ted” Gielow,

born May 12, 1972, in Hoag

Memorial Hospital Presbyterian,

Newport Beach, the son

of Thomas A. and Judith M.

Gielow of Costa Mesa. Ted grew

up in Costa Mesa, became an

Eagle Scout, musician, athlete,

and NHHS grad. After attending

college in Indiana, he lived

in University Hills for ten years

while working for UCI’s Network and Academic Computing

Services and with the UCI Library. He died February 17th at

his Costa Mesa condo.

Ted was a gentle, kind, and soft spoken man. He was generous

in his support of social justice issues both financially

and in his volunteer time. Ever inquisitive, his genius with

computers led to his design of numerous specialized, digital

video cameras.

Ted is survived by his parents, his younger brother Tony, an

older brother Tim (Cynthia), and nephew Thad. The family,

especially Thad, misses him very much.

A service in celebration of Ted’s life will be held at 2PM, on

Saturday, March 14, 2009, at St. Mark Presbyterian Church,

2200 San Joaquin Hills Road, Newport Beach, 92660, where

he was an active member all his life. In lieu of flowers, the

family suggests donations in Ted’s name to the Memorial

Fund or the Parry Environmental Scholarship at St. Mark.
