Dell’s wife Betty and his family would like to give a special thank you to the doctors, nurses, and entire staff at both Chandler Regional Hospital I.C.U. as well as Hospice of the Valley’s Lund Home facility for the superior care they provided Dell during his stay with them. Their support and help to Dell and his family was immeasurable.
At the family’s request, in lieu of flowers, they are asking for donations to be made in his name to the Ahwatukee YMCA Youth Services Fund.
Beloved uncle…we could always count on Uncle Dell for some hugs….and a few pranks! Will miss him, yet look forward to seeing him again one day.
Love you Aunt Betty, and my cousins three, you are all in my prayers.
I have known Dell Teille for close to 36 years. He has been like another father to me. We will miss you Dell. We will see each other again.
Dad will be greatly missed by many. He was such an intricate part of so many people’s lives.
