My sympathy and condolences to the whole Teel family, of whom I have fond memories not only from childhood, but also of our more recent visits. Harley was the beloved cousin of my mother, Juanita, and the respected fellow veteran of my father, Ted Morgan. Harley's last letter to me after my father's death last year was full of affection, humor, and insight into my parents' childhood and young adulthood. His death is a great loss, but his life has been a blessing and inspiration to us all.

We are so saddened for Reba and the entire family. You remain in our constant prayers and thoughts. Harley was an example of a real man, both in the biblical and practical tense. His suffering is over and he is now in the arms of the Master and those loved ones who proceeded him. We'll all be together again in just the blink of an eye.

My condolences to your family, David.  I never met your father but I remember you speaking of him often.

Harley was over the engineering department in the 80's at the USI plant in Deer Park, Texas. He would occasionally come to the control room and always had time for a friendly chat. In talking with him I picked up on his extremely quick wit. I never could top him though I kept trying. It was all in good fun and I'm saddened to hear of his passing. The world lost a fine man. May God's comfort through Jesus Christ our Lord comfort you all through these difficult times.

My prayers are with you Reba, and all of the Teel Family, at this time of loss.  While it is our loss, Harley is finally with God and Jesus whom he's been waiting to see all of his life!  Harley was a great example of a strong, but gentle, man.  His kindess and leadership "by example" is an inspiration to us all.  His commitment to the Great Commission is beyond measure.  We all already miss Harley.  Blessings and Peace to the family.

We are devasted of this sad news... and will forever miss you Harley. 
From the first time we met you in Viena Austria to the times we spent in Houston, Texas. You have adopted us into your family and helped us be as american as one could be. Love you so much, our dear "American Dad" 

Ela, Nick and Amanda Ghica

I am sorry to hear of your loss, Reba.  I am praying that God will comfort you and guide you as you face a new episode in your life.

My condolences to the family.  I never met Mr. Teel, but have heard many good things about him.  Not to have met him is my loss.  God bless.  Owen (Obie) Teel Oscoda, MI

You Have Our Deepest Heartfelt Sympathy.  May God Give You Comfort And Peace.

My condolences to all of the Teel family, you are in  my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

He was a wonderful man, a role model for his children, a loving grandfather and the best Father in Law I could want. I miss him dearly.

The Life of a Good and Faithful servant is going home. Honored to have known you. Richard and Debbie Koctar

My condolences to the family of Mr. Teel. May the GOD's of all comfort provide you with whatever is needed so you can cope with your great loss. Also there will be an end to all causes of death and the heartaches it brings.

A life well lived, a man well loved. Peace on your journey.

Praise the Lord for a life well lived for God and family.  I pray that the God of all comfort will bring peace to your hearts as you remember and celebrate Harley's life.  He was loved by every church he ever served, his wonderful family here and in Illinois.  I pray that God will surround you with those who can take care of you and get you through the days ahead.  I know that he was your lifelong partner, Reba, and nothing will ever be the same until you go home to be with him in Heaven.  It won't be long till we meet again.  What a day that will be!
