TETI
Henry F.W., age 93, on July 20, 2024, of Newtown Square, PA (formerly Upper Darby, PA). Predeceased by his wife, Mary Elizabeth (nee Delaney), his parents, and his siblings.
Survived by his children, John Teti (Isabel), Michael Teti (Kay), Mary Grace Barbye (Rick), Annetta Donahue (Michael), Connie McMenamin (Joe), Lisa Anne Swartz, Diane Neuman (Scott), Patricia Dahms (Bill), Christina Beck (Michael), and Paul Teti (Carrie). Also survived by 29 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Henry loved his church, his country, and most importantly his family. In addition to his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, he touched so many lives and helped so many people. He served his country in the Korean War. He served his church and community in too many capacities to list. He ran local, congressional and presidential campaigns and always volunteered at the polls.
He wanted nothing more than to be surrounded by family and, being Italian, that also meant our door was always open to our friends, their friends and their family too! He thrived in big gatherings! The more the merrier. He was a legend and opened his heart and our home (and my mother’s cooking) to everyone and anyone who needed him. He was a fixer. Everyone in our community knew they could call Hank Teti, day or night, and he’d be there for them.
Henry was larger than life. His love for others was boundless. No one forgot who he was and everyone loved him. He was a man who carried the weight of his generation with confidence and graciousness. His shine will live on in the lives of all those he touched.
