In memory of Nicholas J. Teteris, MD, loving father and grandfather, dedicated physician and patriotic veteran. Born in Martins Ferry, Ohio to Greek immigrants. He attended Linsly Military Institute where he graduated as valedictorian. He went on to receive his undergraduate degree from Washington and Jefferson College.

He practiced in this context until the mid 1990's when he took over the position of Medical Director of the Operating Rooms at Ohio State. He held the position until his retirement in his mid 70's. He will be deeply missed by his son John, (daughter in law Laura), daughter Georgia, grandchildren Nick, Olivia, Jack, Tatum and Cash, longtime devoted companion Pamela Shaver, former spouse Jean Teteris, sister Dorothy Leos, nephew Jimmy John Leos and many friends and colleagues.
