Jack Teplin Obituary
Dr. Teplin attended the University of Wisconsin - Madison and graduated Marquette University Dental School and was a proud member of the American Dental Assoc., Wisconsin Dental Assoc., and Greater Milwaukee Dental Assoc. He practiced dentistry for nearly 50 years in West Allis, Milwaukee, and Mequon. He was also a member of Alpha Omega International Jewish Dental Fraternity. Jack served as chairman of the Mt. Sinai Medical Center Dental Clinic for many years. He was active in the Navy and Marine Reserves. Jack served in both WW II and the Korean Conflict. He was past president of the Marsack Jewish War Veterans Post.
Along with his late wife, Iva (nee Cooper), Jack was active in all their children's activities, including the Boy Scouts of America and especially the B'nai Brith Youth Organization where they served as advisors and mentors to many young Jewish men and women.
Professionally, Jack or "Dr. Jack" as he was known, was loved by his many patients for his skillful and compassionate care. He had the privilege of treating multiple generations of many families. His skill served many in the community who otherwise may not have been able to afford treatment.
The family of Dr. Jack Teplin wishes to thank the staff of the Jewish Home and Care Center, Bradford Terrace, and Newcastle, where he spent the last five years.
He was preceded in death by his loving and devoted wife, Iva, to whom he was married for over 58 years. Also preceded in death by his sister, Alice Schwartz and brothers-in-law, Joseph Schwartz and Harry Plotkin. Jack leaves behind his dear brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Ervin and Rita Teplin, sister-in-law, Sara Plotkin, brother-in-law, Alex Cooper, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

All of us here at Newcastle will miss Dr. Jack very much. He was a pleasure to be around. May God comfort you and strengthen you as you reflect on the wonderful memories you have of him. Personally, I will always remember the early mornings when Dr. Jack would start whistling and then I would join him and we would whistle together. It's nice to know that he is not suffering anymore. May God help you through this difficult time.

I had the truly great pleasure of working with Jack (and Stan) Teplin at the Mt.Sinai Dental Residency Program. Also being a patient at their office on Wisconsin Avenue,and then to follow them when they moved to Mequon.
I wish I were there now to honor Jack and his family at this time.He really was an incredibly caring person and it was wonderful to work with Jack at the Dental Department at the former Mt.Sinai Hospital.
May I add my prayers to all the prayers being said for Jack and his family at this time.

We were sad to see the death notice in the paper. We both have many fond memories of a wonderful dentist as well as a very dear person during the many years we had the privilege of being patients of Dr. Jack's.
