C. Terrence Maguire
December 14,1931-September 6, 2020
A third generation San Franciscan, C. Terrence Maguire played his final round at the age of 88 on September 6, 2020. He is survived by his two daughters, Katie Maguire Candland and Annie Maguire Barnes and his two sons, Tim Akerly Magure and Andy Cutten Maguire and five grandchildren.
Terry, along with twin brother Larry, were born at Mount Zion hospital on December 14, 1931 to William Maguire and Elizabeth Cutten Maguire. Terry found growing up with a twin a delightful experience, saying "we were the best of buddies, took the same classes, had the same tastes and the same golf handicap." With his step-father Rush Hughes, the family moved to St Louis, where Terry would distinguish himself as a young scholar and talented athlete at St Louis Country Day School. He attended Yale, where he became a member of the DKE house and excelled in his American History coursework. His favorite classes told of the development of the West, with tales of "Cowboys and Indians," the nickname of Howard Lemar's course on the history of Westward Expansion. Terry graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1954.
With abundant smarts and charm, Terry's professional life allowed him to connect with people and he joined the brokerage business in 1959. He moved to Merrill Lynch in 1976, eventually retiring as a VP in 2011. His clients valued his warmth and caring, as well as his investment acumen.
A life-long athlete, Terry played many favorite sports as a youngster – football, baseball, and basketball among them. At 16, golf took the top spot, where it remained for the rest of his active days, although he continued to enjoy watching the others. Terry devoted himself to the game and the community of SFGC. He could often be found hitting a bucket of balls there on foggy San Francisco afternoons. A serious competitor on and off the links, Terry was a demon on the domino table, having played the game as well as cribbage from an early age with his maternal grandparents.
Terry had an irrepressible laugh and loved nothing more than a good joke, although ice cream was perhaps a close second. Terry was a proud member of the California Pioneer Society thanks to his ancestor, Hugh McGrath, who arrived in California in the 1840s and rode with the Pony Express.
As those who loved him knew, Terry had one of the clearest and fastest minds around, with easy recall of facts, figures and names. Walking through San Francisco's financial district, Terry had a personal greeting for just about everybody. He will be greatly missed by many.
Private services will be held at Skylawn Cemetery in San Mateo.
