[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Bill Teale

[Eufimia Tafa]

Very sad news and unbelievable. Bill is a very well known and inspired
man  in the literacy community in Greece and we all remember his
excellent plenary speech during the conference in 2015 in Crete.  

It is true, the world of literacy lost a great man.

Thank you all for your kind words.  Bill was truly a treasure.

I hope his family members can take some solace in knowing that their husband and father was widely revered, respected, and loved by hundreds of colleagues and students around the world.  He touched and blessed us all with his professional commitment, his razor sharp mind, and his generous spirit.
