James Easton Teel

I have worked for Raleys for 36 years as a meat cutter. First time I met Jim Teal in the early 90's he was sharply dressed and stood at a window and watched me cut meat for several minutes. I came to the door to meet him and he reached his hand, white pressed shirt, cuff links and I said to him I was to bloody to shake his hand. He grabbed my arm and shook my hand. He said he didn't care about his shirt, he cared about his employees. Jim was a good man and everything I saw him after that...

My first job out of high school was in Raley's sign shop in the old main office building. Every day I would go upstairs past Jim Teel's office and he always had a friendly hello. I stayed with the company in the main office for 34 years, and it was my great pleasure to work with, and for, Jim and Joyce Teel.

We flew together, boated and fished together, rode our Harleys together, even did a little business together. There´s an empty hole in the lives of your Airport friends as Mrs Teel once called us. We all trust your flight West was with fair skies and tailwinds. Radar

I love you daddy! You taught be so much about so many special things. I will miss you deeply
