Terry John Cusack

On March 20th, 2013 Terry Cusack, with his wife Julie and his family by his side, slipped peacefully from this world. Incredibly loved, adored and cherished by his children A.J, Sarah, Jonathon, Tyler, Maggie and Troy, his parents, Rose and Maurice, his sisters Lisa and husband Jerome, Michelle and husband Mark, nieces and nephews. As a father he is held in the hearts of his children as their one constant. He set standards high and will continue to guide them on their paths in this life with the wisdom and conviction of his beliefs always whispering in their minds. As a son he embodied all that could be achieved with hard work, love and perseverance. Love of family was a cornerstone to his upbringing which allowed him to create a solid foundation to build his own family on. His accomplishments and his commitment to family would make any parent proud. As a friend he gave the best of himself in the good times and the bad, standing strong and loyal to all who knew him. He believed a song could be sung for every situation in life and he would not hesitate to pick up his guitar and share the gift of music, for joy, for sorrow, for love, for friendship. As a husband he personified commitment, passion and joyfulness. Finding time in the day to connect, amidst the chaos that can be with 6 children, was a challenge he met with open arms, sincere love and laughter to lighten the burdens of life. Respect between Julie and Terry was a constant reminder to their children of all that love can be. Terry was a lover of music, embracing good friends and reveling in the delights and challenges life brought. Working for EDS, HP and GM over 27 years, he made long-lasting and true friendships, with employers and colleagues alike. His easy going personality along with his never-ending sense of humor endeared him to all who crossed his path. His life was a symphony, his death is a sorrow, his memory and love…………..remains.
