To the family of John Teehee,

My husband has had two businesses since 1980 and he used to frequently do business at his place of business. He was always kidding around and a good business man. He offered a great business to this community. He will be truly missed by many.

Emmaline and Family, I worked for Texas Bank for many years and had the pleasure of waiting on your husband John, and most all of your family. It was always a bright spot for us to see John and his two baby sitting dogs. Few people in this time and age are as gracious as he was. I'll keep all of you and John in my prayers. He'll always be remembered for those who waited on him in the motor bank downtown. Diane Hall

I am so sad to hear about the loss of John, Tommy and i really enjoyed talking to him at Church. We all know he's in a great place now, and looking down and smiling on all of us. Sorry I didnt make it for the funeral, I have moved away and I just now found out about his passing.

Mrs. Teehee,

We were so sorry to hear of Mr. Teehee's passing. He was a wonderful man and a great patient. No matter how bad he felt he was always very gracious and appreciative of his care. We will be thinking of you and our prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Mrs. Teehee, Judy and Dinah,
Like the others that have taken the time to sign this, I, too, am blessed to know Big John. Although it was our mutual love for our Sooners that first drew us together, we both soon found out that our love for Jesus was even more of a bond. He taught me what we as Christians, were supposed to act like here on earth. John shared his most precious gift, his time and love, with anyone who cared to receive it. I unashamedly told John "I love you John" dozens of times before he left this earth and believe me, that is a testimony to him not me. I truly pray that I can be more like him.
May God's peace surround each of you and may you all remember only the best of a man I call Weatherford's best! I love you, John!

Mr. Teehee was a great man. Growing up with Justin and Jerrod he was always around, whether at school, sports, or just around town. He always had a smile on his face and offered encouraging words. He always treated me as one of his own and I will always remember him.

Mrs. Teehee, Judy, Larry, & Family,

I began knowing Mr. Teehee as a teenager during the Hamilton Tire Store days. He not only was good at what he did but he was a good man. It was a privilege to be his customer at Weatherford Brake and Front End.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He truly left his mark for good on Weatherford.

I am sorry that I can't be with you today but my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have known John since 1971 as I delivered Coca-Cola to his business. I have never known a more fair, honest man in business as well as in a friend. He will be missed by all that has had the honor to know him.

Judy and family; I will always remember John as a fierce competitor, yet friendly and graceful when his team lost in sports. That tells a lot about a man. We became closely acqainted when I played for his fast pitch softball team in 1973. You learn a lot about a person who coaches you. I admired him then and will forever. His legacy is his family whom he loved and supported so much. What more can a man ask for in this life?
With love and deep respect,

I have known John and his whole family for 35 years. I will never forget how he always had time for everyone especially kids. John was always good for a kind word. My family and I are sorry for your loss and will be praying for your comfort.

John's life defined what it meant to be a Christian. He loved as Christ loved, he sacrificed as Christ sacrificed, he served as Christ served, he forgave as Christ forgave, he lived humbly as Christ lived humbly. It was my great pleasure to know him, and my privilege to be his Pastor for a short while. Best of all if you knew John, you were told by John about salvation through Jesus Christ! I will surely miss my friend, and will see him again!

I feel greatly privileged and blessed to have known John even for a short while. He was a righteous man whose love for Christ he freely shared.
He will be sorely missed.

Emmaline~ John was a great man. His faith in Jesus Christ was something that we should all strive for in our lives. John was not afraid to tell anyone about his Jesus and how wonderful their lives would be with Jesus in their hearts. John was such a blessing to me and my family. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
