Theodore F. Wisniewski, 79, of Highlands joined the love of his life on Sunday, November 25, 2018.

He was born and raised in Buffalo New York, moving to Highlands North Carolina a few years ago, where he lived with his son at The Mountain. For Ted, the Mountain was a place of healing and acceptance.

He was the beloved husband of Pauline C. Harry Wisniewski; brother to Thomas F., devoted father of Najhe (Dave) Danglis, Amber (Mark) Zych, Dawn Kotin, Theodore (Wendy) and Christopher (Heather), and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends. For much of his life, he and his wife were involved in giving back to the community. He will be dearly missed.

If desired, donations to The Mountain Retreat and Learning Center, PO Box 1299, Highlands, NC 28741, would be welcome.

No services are planned at this time.

Macon Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.
