Earley B. Teal, Master Sergeant, U.S. Air Force Retired, age 73, a loving husband and caring father and grandfather, passed away peacefully on the morning of February 19, 2011, at home with his wife by his side. Earley B. was a native of Dallas, Texas. He was born on December 24, 1937, to the late Leonard and Seretha Teal. Earley served honorably in the U.S. Air Force for just over 22 years. Over the course of his life, the theme of activities and community service initiatives that Earley B. participated in involved threads of activism, advocacy, and leadership development, all of which fit during his active leadership involvement with the Bexar County Buffalo Soldiers Association in San Antonio. The Memorial Service will be held on February 24, 2011 at 10:30 a.m., at the Freedom Chapel located on the Lackland Air Force Base. Guests are welcome to visit with the family before the service and fellowship after the service. The address and phone number is 2200 Truemper Street Lackland AFB, TX 78236 - (210) 671-4208.
