Cathy, Words can't even begin to express my sadness that I am feeling for you right now. Terry was my friend. He just came by my job on Thursday to check up on me. We had our usual conversation. I said what you doing? He said I don't want anything, He never stepped foot in the door this time. He held the door open and talked to me from there. He said I was just stopping by to say " Hey" and to check up on you. He was headed to work and I said Well when are you retiring and he said soon with a laugh. Who would have known that was the last time I would talk to him. Our prayers are with you and your entire family.

Terry was such a great friend and co worker for the 8 years I worked with him at Haworth. He always had a smile and good words whenever you saw him. Always helped anybody and everybody who needed anything that he could help with. I retired from Haworth, but we just saw Terry about 2 weeks ago at Meijer in South Haven he looked so good, little did I know that would be the last time I'd see him. It was a blessing to know Terry and we will miss him till we see him again...

I knew Terry for the 12 years I worked with him at Haworth. he was a good man and a good mentor for me. he was always willing to help with anything he could. and always had a good listening ear for personal troubles. It was always a good day when I could swing by and poke at him about U of M games and other stuff. I am so sorry for your loss... you family has been in our prayers since we found out he passed. I'll miss our talks and jokes. I am grateful to have known him for the time God gave us all.

I worked with Terry for several years at the Haworth Douglas plant back in the early to mid 80s. He always made the nights go by so fast... he was such a quick wit and always fun to laugh with. I didn't see him often over the last several years but when we did run into each other it was as if no time had passed. He was so funny!
My son got to know him the last few years as well (at Haworth) and he always had funny Terry stories to share! I am glad he got to know him! You will be missed, by MANY!! Rest in Peace my friend!!

I ran across him at Walmart in South Haven just before Covid hit and was gonna stop at his house to visit but never made it , that I really regret !! I just heard this news today in which really saddens me and I'm sure many others . I'll see ya on the other side , God Bless ! Prayers to your family . Jim Obuchowski .
