Theodore Gustave Behling III

Theodore “Ted” Gustave Behling III, 70, of Telford, PA, passed away on February 12, 2024, at Temple Jeanes Campus Hospital. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Ted was the son of the late Theodore Behling Jr. and the late Louise Elizabeth (Stacy) Behling. 

Ted and his family moved to Ohio in 1958 and later moved to Doylestown, PA, in 1968. Ted graduated from Central Bucks East High School in 1971. He then went on to work at Rudolph’s Army and Navy in Doylestown. Ted then began working at Siemens Energy & Automation and enjoyed it so much he stayed there for over twenty years. He will be remembered for his quick-wit, sarcastic sense of humor, and his ability to make everyone laugh. One of Ted’s greatest pleasures in life was to enjoy good food, wine, and cheese. In his free time, Ted enjoyed going fishing with his sons and friends. In 2018, he received a heart transplant which inspired him to be an administrator for a heart transplant group and help those in need with advice and resources. Above all, Ted’s greatest pleasure in life was spending time with his family, friends, and especially his grandchildren. 

Ted will be dearly missed by his wife, Martha Behling, together they shared 18 years of marriage; his children, Thomas Behling (Melissa), Kristen Murillo (Leo), and Samantha Wilson; his grandchildren, Benjahmin, Ruvi, Alia, Liliana, Abbey, Lilly, and JJ; his sister, Sandy; his niece, Michelle Frei (Adam); his nephew, Charles Wagner (Sheri); and other extended family members. Ted is predeceased by his son, Theodore Behling IV.
