Teodoro Sanchez
Shared Memories
Teodoro Sanchez, of the Fairhill/Kensington section of Philadelphia, sadly passed away surrounded by his loving family on September 1, 2024, at age 83. Born in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, Teodoro was the beloved son of the late Cirilo Sanchez and Monica Figueroa. He was the devoted husband of Maria Sanchez and the loving "papa" of Daisy, Danny, Diana, David, and Felix. He was also a cherished "abuelo" to many grandchildren and great-grandchildren and a dear "hermano" to several siblings. Teodoro was also survived by his extended family, including nieces, nephews, daughters-in-law, and a son-in-law.
Teodoro was extremely passionate about his antiques, music, and wrestling. He was well-known in his community for the special wall that he created on the side of his home, where he showed his collection of unique antiques, making his home a beautiful display for all who passed by.
Teodoro was affectionately known as "El Amigo del Pueblo." He was a friend to all, always open, inviting, and full of love. His warm and friendly personality made him a beloved person in his neighborhood, where he was more than just a neighbor, he was family. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the entire community.
All are invited to Teodoro's viewing and funeral on Tuesday, September 10th at McCafferty Funeral & Cremation Inc. 6711 Frankford Ave. Phila., PA 19135 (between Unruh & Knorr Sts.) from 9:30 am to 11:00 am. There will be a prayer service in the funeral home at 11:00 am. Further arrangements will be made by his family.

My beautiful Abuelo. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful family and creating such an amazing bloodline. Without you there is no us. I will never forget all the summers at your house eating water ice from your ice cream truck. The smell of Vicks when I’d watch tv with you at night as a child. And just how proud you were of your family ❤️ you loved us all to no end and we will forever have a missing piece of our heart in heaven ❤️🩹 coco the legend ♾️

Tio Coco you will be greatly missed, I will always remember you for being an amazing father / grandfather/uncle/brother and friend,, I know I haven’t seen you for quite some years but I am so honored to have been able to experience the last couple of weeks of your life especially witnessing you accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, just by nodding your head “YES”, may you rest in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior 🙏 SEE YOU WHEN I GET THERE, BENDICION, I LOVE YOU 💙
My DAD Teodoro Sanchez also known as COCO was truly an amazing man, Father & Grandfather. He was one of the most Hardest working man I’ve ever known. My Dad came straight from Puerto Rico not knowing much here in America and raised 5 children with his Wife my beautiful Mother Maria Sanchez. My dad taught me the true meaning of a working man. Teodoro was full of life and full of energy. That man was very Determined so whatever my dad had his mind set on he’ll get it done. He was loved by everyone. I’m going to miss watching wrestling with him he was so passionate about his wrestling, I’m going to miss all his advices he gave me. The joking around we both did even sharing drinks with him I’m truly going to miss My dad so much. I Love You DAD always and Forever.
I Love you Pop ❤️I miss you so much. I can’t imagine a day without you. I willl forever treasure the wonderful memories you gave me and the great father you were to us. I remember the surprise McDonald lunches you would bring us at St. Boniface ☺️making us the envy of others, but we shared because you taught us well. I know you are no longer suffering and that brings us peace. Watch over us and send me a sign down here so I know you are still by my side. I will find you I am Sure. I adore you with all my heart. Until I see you again. Te Amo tanto. Bendición. Que Dios te bendiga. I Love you pop. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
May he rest in eternal peace always was a hard working man everytime I came around to hang out with David he was always working on something he truly will be missed!!!🫡🫡🫡
My loving uncle , I remember the times the family would get together on christmas in the 1970s, My dad and his brother in laws dad Richard also, He was always the same person all the time never showed no attitude, he had lots of friends and was well known in the neighborhood he was my moms third brother and I thank the Lord my mom got to see him in person last year and last week through video and the most important thing is
that he had gave his soul to God, now he is in good hands with our father in heaven.
Love you tio Coco you would be dearly missed
My welo.. I’m trying to find the right words where there is so many.. for the longest time I wanted to be a teacher and you knew that. Every time me and mommy would go to mascher street, I would jump out the car run to you and you would say my teacher my teacher!! I love you my welo there is so many memories to share.. no one would ever forget you. Please watch over us welo. I know your home smiling down at all of us and knowing that I will find peace..
Coco you were truly a man of the people, always full of life and you truly lived a beautiful life. I’ll cherish the memories of you always smiling and having a good time. You always welcomed me with love, respect and kindness and for that I am eternally grateful. May you rest peacefully, until we meet again, we love you and will forever keep you in our hearts ❤️
My deepest condolences and respects to my familia from Mascher Street. Mi Coco loco; so many memories and good times shared. I remember playing hide-n-seek in the house with compai Dave, my brother, my best friend growing up. We sure did give your papi a few headaches here and there, but it’s all love. It’s been so long since I’ve last Coco and the familia, but this I know to be true… the bond that you all have are a direct reflection of his example and love for you all. I only wish I would’ve been able to create more memories with my Mascher Street familia as I matured and grew older. Regardless, I did learn a lot from Coco and one of the precious things he left with me was the ability to be thoughtful, caring and determined. I will always appreciate you and pray that your journey into the beyond is filled with peace, joy and lots of love.
Tío COCO was a great man he will always have the BBQ on the weekends with the family and his friends he was the one who taught me how to play dominos and every weekend I would look forward to going over there and playing with them. He was a caring person It didn’t matter who you were he would welcome you with open arms. I love you tio ❤️
May you rent in peace
