It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Terry Slusher, age 69, on Friday November 14th. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Terry was married to his beloved wife, Jean, for 51 years, a partnership built on love, respect, and devotion.
Terry was a proud father to his sons Jason and Steve, and a doting father-in-law to their wives Delilah and Sarah. He was a cherished grandfather to his grandchildren Cassidy, Elliott, Austin, Simon, and Zoey, who brought immeasurable joy and meaning to his life.
He is also survived by his in-laws Tom, Mary Ann, Diane, and Debbie, as well as his siblings Dan, Mark, and Donna. Terry was preceded in death by his brother-in-law Jerry, and his siblings Don and Clayton. They will forever be in his family’s hearts.
A die-hard Cincinnati Bengals fan, Terry spent countless hours cheering for his team, a passion he shared with family and friends. He was also a longtime member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, where he enjoyed 49 years of brotherhood.
Terry will be remembered for his kind heart, strong spirit, and unwavering loyalty to those he loved. He was a man who lived his life with a deep sense of passion, joy, and an enduring commitment to his family.
