Benjamin Teczon Obituary

Benjamin "Pops" Teczon June 22, 1941 - Nov. 26, 2018

Benjamin "Pops" Teczon was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend. He was loved by all who had the pleasure to meet him as Benjamin was a legendary guitar player in Stockton. He played in Stockton's top bands in the 1960's and continued playing music until his untimely passing. Benjamin rose to legendary status and earned the endearing title "Pops" by all of his fans and friends. He was a hardworking and caring man who was devoted to his family. Pops is survived by his son Jeffrey Teczon; daughters Roxy Teczon, Doree Teczon; brothers Reuben Teczon, Dan Teczon, Sid Calija, Mundo Calija and Ellis "Junior" Calija; sisters Rose Teczon, Angie Calija, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Pops was truly a man with musical talent, integrity and love. He will be truly missed!
