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

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.
