DONALD TETER

Donald Teter fit the old adage " A Scholar and a Gentleman" in every sense of the word. I am qualified to make such judgement because Don and I became roommates in 1943, joined the Navy together, went thru Boot Camp together, then were college roommates again until we graduated in 1948. Don's generosity was a tremendous asset to his neighborhood, his community, and all his friends.
To know Don was to know his family for whom I have great admiration and appreciation. My deepest sympathy...

We are sad to learn of Don's death and grateful for all the lovely times we shared at the Texas Jewish Historical Society meetings. His memory is certainly a blessing for all who knew him. We send our condolences to Gert and all the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Don's passing. What a sweet, gentle, kind person, as well as a "man of all seasons" in his many abilities and activities. His skill in genealogy was particularly astounding to me. My highest sympathy to all the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. It was so nice to have seen you both at the symphany in December.

Don Teter was a blessing to all he met and served with distinction and honor on the board of Clayton Library Friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

We have lost a true gentleman, and friend. I am very sorry to learn
of Don's passing. I have so many good memories of Don and
his dedication to genealogy. Liz Hicks

Don Teter was a true and honorable individual ... I had the pleasure to work with him for more than 10 years on mutual projects related to Houston Jewish Cemetery Preservation Projects ... recently, the Oran M. Roberts Chapter 440, UDC, honored him with the Judah P. Benjamin Award for Community Service and Historic Preservation … I will miss his knowledge and support ... and our occasional lunches at Shade in the Heights … He and his dear wife researched and wrote the book "Jewish Burials in...

Don's life was truly inspirational, and it touched both individuals who knew him and those who benefit from the many parts of the community he served and cared for. In these ways, Don will always be part of our lives.

Corky and I send our heartfelt condolences to his entire family.

I know this is really difficult,may the gentle warmth of memories heal your heart and bring you peace.
