This is a copy of his obituary:
TEICHMAN – Joseph Teichman passed away peacefully on April 12, 2006 at Copernicus Lodge in Toronto, Ont. He was 95-years old. Joseph was born in Dabkow (Lubaczow), Poland on March 13, 1911. In 1926, 15-years old, with only a suitcase in-hand, Joseph clearly demonstrated his pioneer spirit when he immigrated entirely on his own to his uncle’s and aunt’s farm in East Selkirk, Manitoba. Two years later, he permanently moved to Toronto. Joseph is survived by Stephanie, his loving wife of 68-years, his son George (Toronto, Ont.), his daughter Camille Tribe (Mt. Lehman, BC), three grandchildren, Sean Tribe (Ivy Lake, BC), Michelle Tribe (Vancouver, BC) and Sarah Teichman (Toronto, Ont.) and one great-grandchild Robbie Tribe (Ivy Lake, BC). An avid fisherman and hunter, Joseph will best be remembered for his love of joke-telling and his devotion to his family. Respecting his wishes, Joseph will be cremated, with no service. In lieu of flowers, donations to Copernicus Lodge Foundation, 66 Roncesvalles Ave., Toronto, Ont. M9R 3A7 would be gratefully appreciated.
