I would like to add my respects to those of Heather's. He did indeed have the mana (standing) like the Totara tree and many of us are indebted to his scholarship and leadership. Stuart

Kia ora tatou

I am so sorry to hear this tragic news.  Bill was respected in the New Zealand literacy community and had made many friends during his time here a few years ago.

Kua hinga te totara i te wao nui Tane - The totara has fallen in the forest of Tane.

This Maori whakatauki (proverb) is reserved to acknowledge the passing of a special person, as the totara tree (a NZ native) is huge, and strong and precious.

We salute Bill.

regards in sorrow
Heather Bell

Bill was well known and loved in Australia. Many Aussie teachers and scholars were influenced by his teaching and research. He was the epitome of "a gentleman and a scholar". We will miss him..

Dear Reading Hall of Fame Members:

I received the following from Taffy Raphael and Jim Gavelek.

The world of literacy has lost a great man, and we personally have lost a dear friend and colleague.  Bill Teale passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, February 4th at his home in Evanston. Bill was a model husband (Junko Yokota), father (Alyssa, Jeremy), friend, teacher, and scholar.  He will be missed more than words can say.
In the days to come, Bill's lasting contributions to the literacy community - locally, nationally and internationally - will be celebrated by members of the many professional organizations with whom he worked, often in leadership positions.
For his colleagues at UIC, his loss is unfathomable. In addition to his scholarship, Bill was a tireless mentor to faculty and students alike. He brought both wisdom and a wry sense of humor to everyday academic life.
The four of us - Bill, Junko, Jim, and Taffy -  worked together, traveled together, lived together, laughed together and his passing leaves such a hole in our lives.
Our hearts go out to all who will miss him terribly.
Further information will be shared as it becomes available.

With a heavy heart,

Ray
