Our sympathy to our former neighbors on Tower St. Your father took care of our kids sore throats and ears and made house calls. too. An emergency with our croupy baby literally saved his life. We were privileged to have your parents as friends. We are so sorry to miss the funeral. We send our love and hugs to all of you. Mary & Bob Zieper

Our family will never forget your dad and mom. They were loving, gracious people and it is their legacy to you, their children and grandchildren. I remember Dr. Teynor coming into our kitchen with his black doctor bag. I think I had tonsilitis every year, and each time he came to check my throat with the ol' wooden tongue depressor and to leave antibiotics...no charge. They don't make doctors like that anymore.

We were terribly sorry to hear about your Dad's passing Terry. Andy let us know right after you or Ann called. There aren't, of course, any words or amount of them that can fill in the void that he has left, but we hope that by knowing you are valued and we are proud to know you and privileged to join the many others who are trying to bring you comfort.

Becky and I were saddened to see that your father had passed away. As a young ENT physician in Edina, I would often hear patients say they had been cared for by your father. They were always so complimentary. Our deepest condolences for your loss.

Joe and Gail, I saw your father's notice in the paper. Although I had never met him, it sounds like he was a wonderful, compassionate doctor and a loving role model for his sons. Vicki Schulz

Dr. Teynor took care of my eaars when I was young. He put cortzone injections in my arm after removing a keloid. He did not charge my parents for it because he felt so bad that it didn't heal. He also set us up with the last appt of the day for the daily injections. I saw him for a long time. He was a wonderful man.
