He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Betty; son, Michael (Pamela) Teer, of Hobart; brother, Tom (Katy) Teer of WI; grandson, Matt Teer; granddaughters: Stephanie Teer and Taylor Rippe; numerous nieces and nephews. Jack was a man that got things done. He was lovingly and affectionately called the "one man army". "Rest in peace my love, you will be missed".

Betty,
So sorry for your loss. We always respected him as a police officer and a friend. Think of the Teer family often. Laugh thinking of the times we had with him when he was stationed in Hawaii.
