Obituary published on Legacy.com by Trexler Funeral Home, Inc. on Jan. 9, 2026.
Terry P. Clauser, 82, of Allentown, passed away Thursday, January 8, 2026 at Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Twp. Born in Allentown, he was a son of the late Edgar D. and Vera E. (Bear) Clauser. He was a member of the former Emmanuel U.C.C., Allentown until the church closing, and a member of Jordan U.C.C., Allentown. Before retiring in 2012, he worked 49 years at Schuler Service Inc., Allentown, where he lastly worked as a Senior Bookkeeper.

He was a former volunteer at Fellowship Manor, Whitehall and he will never be forgotten for his unique sense of humor. He had an amazing memory for jokes, always telling people everywhere he went, a simple joke. Also, he could be easily recognized for his pronunciation of OK….. "Oooooook".

Terry has no immediate survivors but leaves behind a following of many people from everywhere he went. He was predeceased by his brothers Donald E. and Dale R. and his wife Adelina.

Services: 10:30 Saturday, January 10, 2026 at Trexler Funeral Home, 1625 W. Highland St., Allentown. A brief calling period will be from 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM. Burial to follow on his family plot at Greenwood Cemetery, Allentown.

I'll always remember Terry and his silly jokes. They always made me smile. Rest in peace.

Dear buddy. We knew each other for 65 years since our attendance at Bethlehem Business School. Afterwards we both worked long at similar jobs and enjoyed buying many cars. You went to Atlantic City casinos many times since they first opened. As we got older, did not meet as often but kept in touch. Always thought of you and even mailed you a card from FL this past Monday. You liked the color green since you were born day before St Patrick´s Day. Terry, I won´t forget you!
