Coming to Princeton from Hotchkiss, he majored in geology, lettered in track, and was a member of Cap and Gown. After graduation and two years in the Navy, Terry had a successful 31-year management career with Dresser Industries. At 33, he was the company’s youngest works manager.
His second career was as a corporate consultant and professor at Brooklyn Polytech.
Terry was involved in many civic activities, including the Nantucket Community Association, Nantucket Yacht Club, Vero Beach Community Church, and the Princeton Alumni Association of Nantucket, which he served as an officer.
Working with young people gave Terry great joy and satisfaction. An original founder of Princeton Project 55, he volunteered as office manager, later serving as board director and as chairman of the program committee. He was devoted to Princeton and our class, co-chairing our 45th reunion, working on AG campaigns, and spearheading the initial link to our “grandchild” Class of 2005.
At the close of his memorial service in Vero Beach, 26 Princetonians, including six classmates, paid tribute to Terry with a stirring rendition of “Old Nassau.”
To Barbara, Terry’s wife of 52 years; his sons, John and Bruce; the grandchildren; his extended family; and many friends; the class extends deepest sympathy.
