1. Kathy, Sam, Ali, Stacy, Trisha and family, I am so sorry for your loss. So hard to believe such a vibrant man will not be returning home. I’ve known Dick my whole life. As a child, he lived 2 doors away from my Grandparents on Prairie Avenue. We had so much fun climbing the sand piles and swimming in the ponds and then having to pick the bloodsuckers off our legs when we were done. As adults we continued our friendship and had a wonderful business relationship. He knows how to put in a great irrigation system. And our wonderful conversations……we could talk for hours, and sometimes we did. He will be missed!

5. I am very sad for the loss of my uncle. He was a great mentor and a very loving man. Family was always important to him, it is a legacy that we, who knew him personally, will always treasure and pass down through our children. We love and miss you but we also know the Lord calls his children home when he wants them, even though we do not want to let them go. Grandma and Aunt Sue will have him playing Skip-bo soon.. God bless.. My beloved cousins, Uncle Mark, Mom (Carol), and Grandpa, please know much love and prayers are sent your way, Shelly and Aaron

8. Aunt Kathy, special thoughts and prayers are sent your way. It is hard to know what to say to a loved one who has lost their husband and best friend. Life will change dramatically and it will hurt for a long time. You are surrounded with a loving family and friends to hold you up and help ease your aching heart. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you. Remember to look to the Lord, he is there as a great shoulder to lean on and listens to our prayers, much love sent your way.

13. We just loved Mr. Teske. We first met on a rather humorous situation. We had a tree in our front yard that I just hated. I felt the tree was just too big and crowded the yard. My husband and I argued and argued about removing it.
    So one day, I just decided to do it. I called the tree removal company and they came out and removed the tree. Well, about 10 minutes into this ordeal we had a geiser of water in our front yard. The man says, lady you didn’t tell me you had an underground sprinkler system.
    Well, I panicked. I ran to the phone book and called landscapers. I got a few voice messages but on the 3rd try, I got an actual human being.
    I was rambling and panicking that my husband was going to kill me. I had never done anything like this in the past and the kind man just listened. He said, when do you want it fixed?
    I said, by 6pm today. There was a long pause and then a giggle. I said will you do it?
    He said “lady, I must be nuts, but I will. I want to come over and see if you are a blonde!”
    I burst out laughing and screamed Thank you, thank you, thank you.
    He arrived at the house. I opened the door, we both smiled and laughed and from then on I was known sweetly as Blondie.
    He was one of those people that my husband and I developed an instant chemistry with. He and Kathy were very kind to us.
    We are truly sorry for your loss. Just so sad

16. To the Teske Family:

    So sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to all of you during this difficult time.

    I’ve run into Dick on special occasions here and there and he always had a story to tell and a smile on his face when we talked. The last time I saw him was at a Frito-Lay picnic and he seemed so happy and proud of his wife Kathy and all his children. Showing me pictures of all his girls. Which two of them I use to babysit. You could tell he felt truly blessed.

    Please accept my condolences and know that the Teske family will always have a special place in my heart.
