My deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Deacon Teo. I’m so grateful to have known this great man. His faith in God influenced my life, both within and outside the church. Brother Teo was a gifted minister and promoter of living a Christ-like life. He taught us to be the best at whatever we did and to do it with passion and effort. He also tried and tried to get me and my friends to become priests. Some of us did seriously consider the priesthood and one of us actually went to the seminary! Those were the good old days. I remember, his homilies would last a good while and the priest would sometimes look at his wrist watch. He just loved to spread the good news. He was definitely on a mission. I’ll never forget Teo. Thanks for everything you did for our community. The world is a better place because you were here.
Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.

We want to remember Deacon Teo like the spiritual man that he was, and always with a smile. The last time Marcelino and I saw him was just a few weeks ago doing a communion service at Sacred Heart, he was real happy because he said it had been awhile since he had done one. It brought tears to my eyes to look at the altar and know that he physically will not be there but I know his spirit will and his presence will still be felt. Our condolences to his family. Susie and Marcelino Garcia.

Thank you, Dón Doroteo, for being a vigilant part of the Village; necessary, in a raising a child. I saw integrity, steadfastness, humility and the impossibility of ever being capable of walking away from you, without smiling back. Look at what you did, Dón Teó. Your beautiful wife, Doña Crüz; displaying her free spirit in your home, by dancing ballet in front your family, Eloy and myself. Graceful(I was a squincle teen:). Your daughter, Dorothy, once taught me the seriousness, consequences of and discipline, necessary in not using the word, [hate] in a sentence again, ever. Thank you, Dorothy! I use your wisdom to teach this to those who do not know what Love is; You're a Champ. David and Angelita; a wonderful reflection of knowing you, by your fruits. You did great, Don Teo. Thanks again, for keeping your auto part's store prices, reasonable, but competitive all those years and also for checking on my grandparent's house. Que Nuestro Señor, Lo Tenga a Usted, en el Cielo, Don Doroteo Garcia; Por Los Siglos Y Los Siglos en El Nombre De Nuestro Senor Christo Yeshuah, Amen. My deepest condolences to the Garcia family and especially Eloy Garcia's Familia. Plata Y Oro/Cuerpo Y Espirito. Sin Cera, Con Amor, Ramon MGjR. Paz

To all of Teo's Family, what a special man he was. One of my dad's (Rufino Rodriguez) best buddies. Teo was a special person he had that true genuine heart. Manuel and I always remember how he would Bless Adan Manuel and Arturo when they would pass by him on our way to receive communion. He always took the time to talk to them. Even if we are not able to attend in person please know that our hearts are with each one of you.
