Theodore ‘Ted’ P. MacMillan, 62
It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of Theodore Phillip MacMillan of Quincy, known fondly as Ted, who left us on April 23, 2025. Born in San Jose on September 23, 1962, Ted was an adventurous spirit who deeply loved his family.
Ted was a man of many talents — smart and creative. His love for Boston was evident in his devotion to its sports teams and in his study of the more unique and often obscure features of the city.
Ted graduated from Acton-Carlisle High School. After service in the U.S. Navy Reserve, Ted went on to earn his bachelor’s in construction management from Wentworth Institute of Technology.
His intelligence shone in his work as a highly respected construction manager who contributed to numerous significant projects in the city. Among the many projects on which he worked were the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the Harvard Science Center, and updates for both Logan Airport and the Green Line. Ted was active in motocross from an early age, riding with both NEMA and NESC. Besides his love for the city of Boston, Ted was an avid Washington Huskies fan — some say he knew more facts than the coach.
Ted is survived by his mother Mary C. Spigarelli and his stepfather Donald J. Spigarelli of Groton. His legacy continues through his brother Robert MacMillan (Dawn) of Milford, New Hampshire; half-brother Patrick MacMillan (Heather) of Bellevue, Washington; half-sister Rickaye Carey of Tracy, California; nieces Christina (MacMillan) Grande (Robert) of Goffstown, New Hampshire and Jessica MacMillan of Oslo, Norway; and nephews Kevin Curran (Gianelle) of Brookline, New Hampshire, and Connor MacMillan and Chase MacMillan of Bellevue, Washington.
Ted was predeceased by his father Robert MacMillan and his brother Michael MacMillan.
Friends and family are invited to remember Ted’s life for a period of visitation from 10:30-11:30 a.m., Tuesday, April 29, at the Badger Funeral Home, 45 School Street, Groton.
Arrangements under the care of Badger Funeral Home, A Life Celebration Home, 45 School Street, Groton. To share a memory or offer a condolence visit badgerfuneral.com
