Donald R. Tegeler Sr.

 Tegeler Donald R., Sr. age 83 formerly of Pasadena, MD and Springfield, WV, passed away in Denton, MD on Friday, December 6, 2019. Born in Baltimore, MD on October 1, 1936, Don was the son of the late Henry and Louise Tegeler.

      Don's true friends knew him as Teg or Whiskey Man (his CB handle). He was pegged the latter because of his lifelong career as a truck driver for Churchill Distributors, a spirits distribution company. After retiring from truck driving, Don moved to Springfield, WV. He was an honorary member and loved going to American Legion, VFWs, and Moose Lodge. Whiskey Man never met a stranger and enjoyed people in general. He enjoyed the tractor pulling circuit and his yearly deep sea fishing trip.

      He is survived by two daughters: Doreen Schuman (Tim) of Denton, MD and Teresa Milligan of Pasadena, MD; a son, Donald R. Tegeler, Jr. of Greensboro, MD; three grandchildren: Christine Jallade (Jib) of Denton, MD, Robert Carson and Bethany Milligan both of Pasadena, MD; four great-grandchildren: Caroline Jallade, William Jallade, Bradley Milligan, and Destiny Ludwig; and a sister Barbara Allin of PA.

      A memorial service will be held at Gonce Funeral Service, P.A. located 169 Riviera Dr, Pasadena, MD 21122 on January 4th from 10am-Noon. Memorial donations may be made to the Salvation Army.
