Richard Teal passed away on September 8, 2025, in Killeen, Texas. Born in Cincinnati,

Ohio, in 1945. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Albert and Elizabeth

as well as his wife Irene. He is survived by his six children: Troy, Theresa, Thomas,

Tracy, Timothy, and Richard – and seven cherished grandchildren: Troy, Steven,

Andrew, Rebekah, Elizabeth, Maxwell, and Dalen.

After moving to California, he met the love of his life, Irene, with whom he shared many

joyful years. Richard proudly served in the United States Army for nearly 30 years,

dedicating his life to his country with honor and integrity. A devoted fan of Dodger

baseball and an avid reader, Richard found joy in the simple pleasures of life. His deep

faith and patriotism were cornerstones of his character, guiding him through every

chapter of his journey. Richard lived a life marked by service, love, and unwavering

faith.
