Bruce Terreson Obituary
Bruce H. "Fuzz" Terreson, 68, of South Heidelberg Township, passed away
September 22, 2016, in Hershey Medical Center.
Harley's come built, but then they break; you've got to take them apart and put them back together. Like Fuzz's Harley, he had broken, but there was nothing that could be done to put him back together. Last week, we celebrated his 68th birthday with his family, dogs and most importantly, chocolate peanut butter cake. Even though he was ill, he maintained his inappropriate joking, laughing demeanor.
The Fuzz that left this world should always be
remembered as the first one to break the ice with a joke. The Harley guy who could always help you fix your bike, as long as you had the time to wait for the procrastinator to do it. The little league coach and umpire. The pop-pop that cut his ponytail when his grandson wanted to cut his ponytail. The guy that when asked if he had something you needed, he'd go to his garage and pull out 3. The brother you could count on to run your raffle, stand up and sing when
ignorance attempted to ruin a funeral, cook hot dogs and hamburgers at the VA, put together care packages for
veterans or soldiers. The guy that bought a single raffle ticket for whatever event he was attended, and won. The daredevil who rode his bike in the ring of death countless times. The man that rose up when another stepped down and adopted two children and raised them as his own. The guy that never met a hot dog he didn't like or laid a fart he wasn't proud of. The guy that had no filter in public and made you question if you should laugh or cower out
of embarrassment. The Fuzz that lived by the slogan,
"live to ride, and ride to live!"
He was the husband of Mary Patrice "Pattie" Terreson. Born in Malverne, N.Y., he was a son of the late Robert H. and Sally Emma Terreson.
He was a U. S. Marine Corps veteran.
Fuzz was owner and operator of Terreson Harley
Davidson, Sinking Spring. He previously worked for Piazza Honda.
He was predeceased by his son, Robert Harley Terreson, and his grandson, Jesse James Terreson.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by three children: Kelly Emma Terreson-Trivic, Erin Terreson and Ryan
Terreson; and sister, Nancy Burtnette; four grandchildren: Jagoda Trivic, Robert Terreson Jr., Brady Terreson and Zora Trivic; his former wife, Patricia A. Terreson; and his VNVMC.
A memorial service will be Saturday, October 1, 2016 at 4 p.m., in Edward J. Kuhn Funeral Home, Inc., 739 Penn Ave., West Reading. Friends may call
Saturday from 12 to 4 p.m. in the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the U.S.O., P.O. BOX 96860, Washington, DC 20077-7677.
A celebration of life will follow the funeral service at RMC.

The days of Fuzz and the Harley Shops in cinder block garages are dear to many of us who spent in them and with him. He had many friends and always enjoyed meeting a new one and lending a hand. May memories comfort everyone.

What a great and funny man you are Fuzz, we never knew what you were going to do to make us laugh. I remember that I met you way back in the 70s while I was tagging along with Rufus and Stilts, going out to hear Captive play at the full moon cafe on spring valley road...you were always the life of the party! More recently it was jello shots at the annual bike raffle... Party on Fuzz! Will DEFINITELY miss your funny wit and your smile! We will celebrate your life instead of mourn your passing. You touched a LOT of lives and you touched a LOT of hearts!! God speed!!

met fuzz in 1978, funny man care free man. Really got me laughing when funzz came to the RMC first picnic with his son in the sidecar, when they turned it to the grounds the sidecar went up in the air and his son was hanging on for dear life with a big smile on his face. Fuzz really was fun to be around never saw him get mad at anything.

So sorry to hear this sad news! I knew Fuzzy since 1982 when I was 18 and went to Terresons Harley Davidson when it was a cinder block building on 222. I haven't seen him in years but I remember him being a funny guy! Always made you laugh! I'm sure he will be missed by many! Ride free fuzz until me meet again on the better side! Prayers!
God Bless!

RIP Fuzz, you finally get to hang with Lowell again. Look out angels these two create havoc together & many laughs.
One of the last times I saw you was a hoot & I will never forget the impish smile on your face right before you spoke, we laughed so hard our sides hurt. Glad to have that simple memory to look back on along with others.
See you & Crocky when it's my time to fly.

Met Fuzz way back when we lived just up the road in the trailer park in Reinholds. Pat & Fuzz made me, as the "new one in the crowd(Lew Swavely's then wife)" feel welcome. Good times at Huie's Grey Fox Inn and at the Terreson home. Godspeed crazy man. Never forget "walk this way" :-)
