LAUZON, Teles J.

(Age 90) Teles J. Lauzon joined his father in heaven on April 29, 2014.

He was a loving husband to Jeri for 53 years, a superdaddy to Kelley (George) Lund, Margaret Lauzon, Maria (Rich) Washington, and Herb (Barb) Lauzon; the grandfather of 12; and great-grandfather of five.

He was known to many as “Tully”, a friend, mentor, patriot and fierce protector of his family.

He had many different duties in his life, WWII Veteran, service station owner, mechanic, lumberjack, core driller.

Dad had a way of being every ones friend and always had a kind word to say about all.

He came from a large family of 19 brothers and sisters, and had the patience of a saint.

He had seen parts of the world from Italy to Panama, but called Spokane home.

There is a hole in the hearts of all who loved him.

A memorial service will be at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery, in Medical Lake, WA., promptly at 10:30am, Friday May 9th with a gathering after, at the family home.
