Terrence Prochaska Obituary

Prochaska, Terrence James
October 9, 1942 - March 15, 2013
Terry passed away following a stroke and a 4 year battle with prostate cancer. He was the beloved husband of Maureen Prochaska, son of Gloria A. Smith and Clarence Prochaska, uncle to Ryun and brother-in-law to Georgette. For most of his career he was the Real Estate Director of Petersen Publishing. Always active he traveled the world but when in town he had daily lunches with his loved friends who he considered family. An avid sports fanatic he especially cheered for Notre Dame. Terry lived life large and to the fullest with his family and friends. His handsome smile, humor and personality will be greatly missed by the many who loved him.
A viewing will take place on Thursday, March 21, 2013 from 5pm to 8pm. Terry's memorial service will take place on Friday, March 22, 2013 at 1:00pm. Both will be at Pierce Brothers Valhalla, 10621 Victory Blvd, North Hollywood 818-763-9121.

A fun guy. Never saw him without a smile on his face. He had friends from all over the states (especially Bobbie & Mike in Chicago). Ran 10 miles every morning before going to the office. I think he got his fun disposition from his mother, Gloria. Loved resorts in Mexico & even had a document from the President of Mexico just in case he got in trouble!!! He will be missed.
