John Teune, age 81, of Wallace passed from this earthly life to his eternal rest on Monday, December 18, 2023.

He was born on January 29, 1942, in the Netherlands to the late Albert and Helen Smith Teune and was also preceded in death by his sisters, Martha and Ann.

Mr. Teune was CEO of Greene Plastics Company in Hope Valley, Rhode Island for approximately 20 years.  His company made plastic craft beads, figurines for the boardgame "ET" and many other plastic items we use around the house today.  He was very proud of his company.

Surviving to cherish John's memory is his best friend and wife of 61 years, Janet Willis Teune of the home; his son Charles "Chuck" Teune of Wallace; his daughters, Autumn Jean Teune of Florida and Christina Lynn Teune of Connecticut; 12 beautiful grandchildren and 3 adorable great grandchildren; brother Peter Teune and wife Eddye of Pennsylvania; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved John dearly.

John was a loving husband and caring father, grandfather and brother.  He was a very hard worker who took great pride in his work.  In his earlier years, John raised and bred quarter horses.  He was an avid guitar player who played in a country and western band many years ago.  Most of all, John was a great husband, father and grandfather that loved his family with all his heart.  His grandchildren were the apple of his eyes. John will surely be missed but treasured memories of him will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

No services are planned at this time.
