John Frederick Teagle

My condolences to the Teagle family. John and I were playing the clubs around Akron during the same time period. It was always a pleasure to run into him at one of them. I've thought about him often over the years. He was one of the truly good guys and will be missed.

My heart goes out to John's family, friends, coworkers, and basically everyone who ever chanced upon his acquaintance. He was one of the most beautiful, inside and out, people that I ever had the pleasure to call friend. His absence on this plane will be sorely missed, but the inspiration and influence that he gifted us will live on.

There is no one ever in our lives who could come close to John Teagle. He was a giant. He knew stuff that we are trying to catch up on and will try our entire lives. Our hearts are breaking and we send our deepest sympathies to everyone who knew and loved him, but especially to Mary, Cassidy, Paul, and family.

John was my friend, my muse, my confidant. He was selfless and lighthearted. He is gone much too soon and I will miss him very much. May his memory be forever blessed.

I had the pleasure of working with John for several years at the Garrison Institute. John was a humble, funny, caring man who always brought a positive attitude to his work. My condolences to the extended Teagle family. RIP John, & keep on rockin'.
