ACTON, Maine - Rep. Ted Kryzak, who represented the towns of Acton, Shapleigh and Lebanon in York County, died on Saturday at age 66.
His death was announced Monday by House leadership, though no cause of death was provided. House Minority Leader Kathleen Dillingham, R-Oxford, said in a statement that Kryzak was a "joy to work with."
"He certainly brought the work ethic straight from operating an 180-acre working farm to his work in Augusta," Dillingham said.
House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, D-Biddeford, noted Kryzak's efforts to distribute food locally, as well as his focus on career and technical education.
"Ted loved representing his constituents and was very proud of being from Acton. We will miss him," Fecteau said.
