My condolences to all the Teuton's. It's a sad day. The Hemi Shoot-Out at Indy won't be the same without seeing "Big Joe" up at the starting line!

The family would like to thank everyone for the warm comments about Big Joe. It is really nice to hear the reinforcements of what we know about our Brother, Father, and Husband. There will be a Celebration of Big Joe's life on Thursday at the First Baptist Church in Gray, LA (which is about 1/4 mile from the original Southland Dragway) from 9 AM to 11 AM and a service at that time. If you are coming, bring your best Big Joe story for all to share. There are many. Thank You.

Re: Joe Teuton
 

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Anyone who ever have the pleasure of being around Big Joe always heard a great story walked away with a smile. He made everyone feel special. A real Southern Gentleman. Rest in peace. Ken and Amy

Re: Joe Teuton
 

So sorry.

Re: Joe Teuton
 

I apologize to everyone, but I don't know the "nomenclature" of the Teuton family. This isn't the poor guy who blew a steer tire and went into the woods, is it? Obviously, my sympathies to the Teuton family regardless of which member it is, but I would be shocked to hear it was the motorhome accident guy, because he seemed to be recovering really well.

Re: Joe Teuton
 

His Brother Joe. Sad news to hear and sympathies to the entire family, afraid there will be many more if you look at the ages in the staging lanes.

Re: Joe Teuton
 

Sorry to read this. Gods speed.

Re: Joe Teuton
 

very sad day indeed we lost another highly respected man from division 4. JEFF he was loved by everyone that knew him you must be proud to say he was your brother the wood family sends our prayers.

Re: Joe Teuton
 

So sad to hear the news of Joes passing. We have so many fond memories dating way back when we first started racing super stock with Howard Comstock and the Teutons. Many a trip to Steak and Shake or White Castle for dinner with the Dodge boys. Brandie learned her first lesson in southern manners from Big Joe and Little Joe when they would call her "Miss Brandie". How she loved that! Don't get me wrong when Joe was mad everyone knew it but when he was happy his mischievous smile brightened the room. Mrs Teuton, Little Joe and family, Jeff and family , please know our sincere sympathies are with you all. We will miss our dear friend but will never forget all the great racing , and business conversations we shared. God bless. Mark & Elaine

Very sorry for your loss.

Re: Joe Teuton
 

What a nice man and he will be missed. Mentored me as a rookie in an AH car and "adopted" me at Dutch because the announcers said I was with the Southland group anyway. Yesterday was hemi day (4/26) and I bet Tim and Big Joe were discussing hemi design with Hoover. Shootouts will not be the same. Stephen

Re: Joe Teuton
 

I would like to express the gratitude of our family on the passing of Big Joe and the many friends who posted condolences, the two to three thousand people who paid their last respects and the three hundred or so flowers and plants from around the nation. It was a great send off. I apologize to anyone who we did not get to shake hands with at the ceremony or anyone we did not acknowledge for the many cards, letters, and other things people did that were just so heartwarming and meant so much to the family. Many did not know how active Joe was with young people and baseball. He helped many young people with scholarships, grants and who knows what else in his lifetime. There was a regular stream from the majors to college scouts who would visit regularly and ask Joe, "who is out there I need to look at" and he knew who might get where; majors, minors, college and lots of young guys went way further than they could have done without someone looking out for them. The ceremony had all the many years of racers, baseballers, car and truck people, and local citizens. It was too large to have what I had hoped to be a series of Big Joe Stories which only he could tell. He was the master of embellishment and never let the facts get in the way of a story. There is a thread of Big Joe Stories started and I hope anyone who has one please post it. Again Thank You from the Teuton family. And Kevin Helms won Houston with Big Joe riding shotgun.

Re: Joe Teuton
 

Big Joe was a joker and loved to play jokes on his friends like ME!!!!!! at least two to three times a week he would prank call me or one of his friends. just a month or so before he fell sick I get this call one morning from a pest control co. this guy says I here you have Roache's in you shop tons of them.i told this guy no but I know who does!!! so I called Big Joe and he was still laughing!! he says I got you Bubba!! we don't have enough space on this Thread to tell them all.he would be riding down the road and If there was a phone # on a car or truck you would get a call from Big Joe.there was this man who would call the cops on us every time we would crank up the Race cars.so this was before called I D. and so Joe would send him over about 75 pieces of chicken unpaid for or Pizza.i could go on and on.he was my friend from when I was twelve years old.big joe was ten years older then me but that did not make any difference to him.Man I am going to miss my old Buddy. RIP my friend. PS myself Little Joe Jerry Caro and Sid did this Show on our Local TV station. it was a one hour show on remembering Big Joe. it was a nice send off. I will try to get a copy of it to play for everyone. Sammy Pizzolato
