L. E. "Bill" Teel

Loyal Edwin Teel, 92, passed away peacefully on January 3, 2022 in Grand Saline, Texas. Mr. Teel was born June 25, 1929 in Canton, Texas, to Archie and Trudy Teel. While his mother would call him “Loyal Edwin”, when the teacher asked his name on the first day of school, he said “Bill”. He has been known as Bill Teel ever since.

Mr. Teel grew up in the Teel Community west of Canton and attended Canton High School, where he was quarterback of the football team. He graduated in 1947. He married his beloved, Katherine Clemments of Myrtle Springs, Texas, on November 5, 1949. The couple were married 58 years at the time of Katherine’s passing. They had two sons and a daughter.

Mr. Teel’s career was as a sheet metal mechanic and Superintendent with Ace Furnace Heating and Air Conditioning in Dallas. His hobby was building, and over the years he built or renovated several houses. He was such a proficient builder, the water company told him to slow down, he was outrunning the water supply!

Mr. Teel was a member of the Teel Church of Christ in Canton, Texas.
