My condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. May the God of all comfort be with you during your time of sorrow. (Psalm 145:19)

What an amazing man! Saddened that he has passed along with so many of his peers. Happy that he is at peace with his wonderful wife, Elvera, and other family members. So many great memories of times with him and his family. Such a great sense of humor and so much fun to be around. He and my Dad would have such good times... Condolences to Pauline, Elaine, and Katherine. They don't make 'em like your Dad anymore! Love, The Handy/Sickels Family

Tellis you will be missed... So many memories of family camping trips and beach trips. May these wonderful memories help you through this difficult time.

Truly saddened to read about Tellis....he and Elvera were good friends of my parents and I have fond memories of them going back to my youth. Tellis was a highly esteemed leader in the California Date industry, a great neighbor, and a friend. He also made a big and lasting impact on our community through his strong leadership on CVWD.

Our sincerest condolences go out to the family.

Very sad to hear of Mr. Codekas' passing. We are losing our great pioneers. Our condolences to you all. He's now in the best date orchard ever!
