John Rulon Teerlink

My husband and I lived, for a short time, across the street from President and Sister Nicholas Teerlink. After Sister Teerlink's passing, we had several occasions to visit since we often took meals over. He even appraised a diamond for me one time. As we visited, I will always recall the love and pride that President Teerlink would always express for his family. He was an incredible "old gentleman" and in the manner of his day, he defined kindness to a young couple in the beginning of...

It has been about 55 years since I met this great man and certainly a great teacher. He was a great teacher academically but more importantly he was great teacher by his example and his influence for good which effected many people in such a positive manner. All my thoughts and memories of this good man and my observations of him clearly demonstrate him as a man of honor and a righteous son of our father in heaven. My condolences and best wishes to all his loved ones.

Rulon has been known to me for a bit more than a year, at Spring Gardens Assisted Living, and I have admired and enjoyed him greatly, along with his dear JoAnn. He will be missed. I can tell that he has been an influence for good among many people during his lifetime.

Cindy I am very sad to hear this. I loved your Dad- He was like a second dad to me. He was someone I looked up to. He was who we called on several times to help give blessing in our home. I was witness to his very strong faith. I will never forget those times- they strengthened my young testimony. One of the most spiritual experiences and miracles of my life was when Whitney had a mouth and throat full of canker sores. I thought she was just teething but she wouldn't eat for 2-3 days. I took...

Rulon was a true disciple of Jesus Christ and a gentleman to his core. I was very touched by how often he visited or called my aging parents especially when my mother was deep into dementia. He was very kind and caring and I´m sure was met by a grateful embrace from my mother, Beverly Love Fulton. My deep condolences to all your family, especially to JoAnn. I know your faith in Jesus Christ will carry you through this trial. May the Spirit comfort you all and assure your hearts that you will...

Sister Westbrook, we are sorry to hear about your father passing. We send our love and prayers. With much love. Jim and Carol Landreau

We were so sorry to hear of Rulon's passing. He truly is a good man and a great example. He was always so positive and upbeat, cheerful and happy. He did a lot of service for the community, the Church, and his family. I know he will have a great reunion with all his departed family. For sure, my mother, Beverly Love Fulton, was among those who greeted him, as she was close with all her Teerlink cousins. Please know you are in our prayers. We send our sincerest condolences. May the...
