William "Bill" Frank Tejkl

William “Bill” Frank Tejkl, 70, formerly of Sand Creek, Michigan, living in Angola, Indiana passed away on June 14, 2025, at his home in Angola.

He was born on January 18, 1955, and was the son of John Tejkl and Charlotte (Mossing) Tejkl.

Bill was a veteran of the Vietnam era where he served four years and another four years in the reserves in the United States Air Force.  The discipline and patriotism he learned in the Air Force never left him, as friends and family will attest. 

He owned his own company, TMS, INC., as an Auditor & Quality Analyst.  He trained over 9,000 individuals in the up-to-date Management Systems and very few people in the world have his expertise.  He was contracted by the government and private companies in countries like Europe, Mexico, Canada, and Asia and along with corporations like Honeywell, Inc. where his specialty was Aerospace and Defense Missile industries.

Bill’s passion was taking long bike rides with Randy and Jim; and he enjoyed taking trips with his wife, Michelle

Bill is survived by this wife, Michelle; his daughters, Desiree (Nathan) Topper of Brooklyn, Ohio, Kate (Austin) Monahan of Mill Valley, California, Lauren Tejkl of Boston Massachusetts and Jennifer (Matt) Clark of Fremont, Indiana; his brother, Ted (Kim) Powers of Clinton, Michigan; three sisters, Helen Haury of Bryan, Ohio, Karen (Todd) McMordie of Devils Lake, Michigan and Patty (Eric) Bubel of Heath, Ohio.  Also surviving are his two grandchildren, Netta and Hanophy and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parent and brother, John Tejkl
