Harry G. Tehan III, 84, passed away September 12, 2020. He was born March 22, 1936 in Waltham, Massachusetts. He was the son of Harry G. Tehan, Jr. and Mae E. (Terrio) Connor. Harry served his country with the U.S. Marine Corps with tours of duty in Korea and Japan. He took over the family business, Tehan and Co., from his father, Harry Tehan, Jr., in 1957. Continually evolving to keep up with ever-changing technologies related to art, architecture, engineering, and printing, Tehan and Co. has remained a pioneering force in the industry over the last 104 years. Harry loved the sea and spent much of his life traveling with his family and living on yachts over the years, including his cherished Christmas Tree, a classic vessel built in the prestigious Luders shipyard in 1926. Harry lived on Long Boat Key and in Sarasota for many years. After contracting colon cancer, he underwent treatment at the Bay Pines VA Medical Center. Cancer free in 2015, Harry developed lasting friendships with kindred spirits in his local VA Cancer Support Group. Harry is survived by three sons: Michael (Oregon), Dan (North Carolina), and Keith (North Carolina); his beloved daughter, Colleen (North Carolina); seven grandchildren; and a sister, Jerilee (Connor) Zezula (New Hampshire). Given the current social restrictions due to the COVID 19 pandemic, there are no immediate plans for a memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations in his honor to The American Cancer Society are welcome.
