When Bob moved from Michigan to Hawaii to teach and then attend medical school in Honolulu, he enjoyed scuba diving and spearing fish, which he did over all the Hawaiian island chain. After relocating to Kaua'i to practice medicine, he immediately got involved in one of his major hobbies which was deep-sea fishing and Kaua'i was perfect for that. After retirement, he switched hobbies to beachcombing and gardening.
He was preceded in death by his parents Fredrich John Teichman and Louise B. Teichman. He was also preceded in death by his father-in-law, Hung Lum Young, and mother-in-law, Florence A. Young, and by his brother-in-law Joseph Escott.
He is survived by his wife, Geri Young of Kapa'a Kaua'i, and his sons Kurt Teichman of Brooklyn, NY and Grant Teichman of Honolulu, HI. He is also survived by his sister, Joyce Escott of Michigan; his brother-in-law Terrence Young and his wife Lynette Young of Honolulu, HI; sister-in-law Marlene Young and her wife Roberta Kokx of Reno, Nevada; nieces Melissa (Brad) Pohl and Kathy Nash (Dave Myers) of Michigan, Bliss Young (Van Wicklund) of Honolulu, HI; nephews Jason (Beth) Nash of Michigan and Brent (Shari) Young of Honolulu, HI and their families
His greatest passion was the love he had for his family and for the University of Hawaii sports teams, especially the football team. He also spoke about how grateful he was to have relocated to Kaua'i in 1980 which he said was the "best place in the world" to live because of the people and the physical beauty of the island.
The Celebration of his Life/Memorial Services will be held on Wednesday, April 6, 2022 at the Borthwick Kaua'i Mortuary in Koloa. Visitation: 9:00 a.m.; Services: 10:00 a.m. and refreshments to follow. No gifts or flowers as requested by the family. If you wish, please consider a donation to the Wilcox Health Foundation or to Kaua'i Hospice.
