John Edward Teshima

I lived a block away. John got me started to play the drums. I continued through junior high, high school, college and the Army. A very generous person with his time even though he was a year older than I.

He was a wonderful man and will be missed dearly, my condolences.

Growing up just across the street, John was a great neighbor and friend. My condolences to his family.

Many good memories over 35 years in the same business with John. Always a good friend and respected underwriter. He could take a case and work up a 30 page Home Office submission like no one else. And so many golf outings and lunches talking about the commute from Michigan City.

One of few who gave help all of his life. A dear, best friend for 40 years. Both he and Carol shared good times with me and Gabriele my wife.
John and I loved Duplicate Bridge. All will miss him. Dennis and Gabriele Frazier.

With a tremendously heavy heart here is his bridge partner for decades. Visited him late last year, and making similar plans to see him again later this year. What shocking news from his wife, Carol, this was. I will meet him again, with Our Lord, not too long from now, I'm sure. Let's play bridge when we meet again, dear John.

I used to play tennis with John, who had a wicked serve and loved to compete. Carol and I started school together and I have known her for over 70 years. My condolences to the entire Teshimsa/Thate family.

So sorry for your loss.
