Jerome Smith remembers:
I just had a call from Terry’s wife, Sue. Terry passed away suddenly yesterday following a fall that led to a serious brain injury. Terry and I met as 9th graders at Hamden, CT, High School. When I moved into Wright Hall freshman year, Terry was upstairs. We were roommates at JE for our last three years at Yale. He was a chemistry major and also in the Army ROTC. He served in the US Army Chemical Corps.
Terry earned a PhD in Chemistry at Purdue. He met his wife, Susan Bell, at Purdue, where she was a librarian in the chemistry library. They were married for 55 years, but did not have any children. Terry and Sue moved on to Michigan Tech in Houghton where Terry was a professor of chemistry. They retired 20 years ago and moved to Grayling, MI, where Terry pursued his long time avocation as a fly fisherman. He also coached his local high school’s swimming team.
I do not have a link to an obituary at this time. Sue told me there would be a memorial service at a date yet to be determined. She did mention that an obituary will be published in the local Houghton newspaper and also in the Grayling area.
I reconnected with Terry last summer when I found his address and gave him a call. Terry was one of our youngest graduates as he skipped a grade and was only 21 when he graduated.
