Thomas Terwey Obituary

Published by Nelson Funeral Care - Cloquet on Dec. 13, 2007.

Thomas Herman Terwey, 50, of Esko, was called to his heavenly home after a short battle with cancer on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007 at St. Luke's Hospital in Duluth. He was born Dec. 19, 1956 in Cloquet to Herman and Phyllis (Evans) Terwey. He grew up in Esko and graduated from Esko High School in 1975. He joined the Navy and upon discharge came back to Esko where he worked for Savanna Pallet Inc. for almost 30 years. Tom did an excellent job caring for his father until his death in 1998. He loved singing karaoke, gaming, and hunting and fishing in his younger years. Tom was preceded in death by his parents; and one sister, Mary Rhedin. He is survived by three brothers, Tim Terwey of Austin, Texas, Terry (Cindy) Terwey of Duluth and Larry Terwey of Austin, Texas; two sisters, Susan (Brooke McLain) Langley of Cloquet and Margaret Piehowski of Mendota Heights, Minn.; and several nieces and nephews. Tom will be sadly missed by his family and friends. The family would like to thank St. Luke's Hospice in Duluth for the wonderful care given to Tom and also to his employer, Al Raushel of Savanna Pallet for his special kindness. VISITATION:1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, 2007 until the 2 pm. memorial service in Nelson Funeral Care in Cloquet, followed with a luncheon reception in the fellowship room. The family has selected Nelson Funeral Care to assist them with arrangements. See their online guest book at www.legacy.com.

We are sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is tough, but we know he is at peace now. Scott has many fond memories of the years in Esko with the Terweys and we enjoyed his humor at the Wabagon.

We were so sorry to hear about your brother Tom(my cousin). It is a sad thing when you lose a loved one. We still think of your dad. He was a nice fun uncle. Not sure if we will be able to come to the funeral but will be thinking of all of you. So happy that Tom did not have to suffer for a long time and he is at peace.

In the short time I got to care for Tom he brought alot of joy and amusement to my day. He was very strong and never uttered the words "give up". All of us here in Radiation Oncology pray that you, Tom's family, find strength and hope during this difficult time. Brenda Smith, St. Lukes Radiation Oncology.
