Memorials: The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts can be given to His Wheels International (HWI) for providing dignified mobility to the disabled. HWI has designed a hand-pedaled three-wheeled, affectionately called a trike, for those who have suffered loss of limbs to land mines. The specially crafted "trikes" also give the dignity of mobility to those with lower extremity disabilities, like the polio patients in Africa. This nonprofit organization has blessed five continents with bicycles and hand pedaled trikes. Joe Teisan's daughter Alice Teisan is the founder and executive director of this nonprofit organization, (www.hiswheels.org). Thank you.
Checks can be made out to Faith and Learning International with His Wheels in the Memo line. Mailing address: Faith and Learning International, P.O. Box 480, Wheaton, IL 60187. Memorials may also be given to Bethel Baptist Church, 24600 Little Mack Avenue, Saint Clair Shores, MI 48080. (https://bethelbaptistscs.org/)
