Terry Bellgraph

August 8, 1949 ~
July 12, 2023

Terry Joseph Bellgraph was born August 8, 1949 and passed away July 12, 2023 at the age of 73 due to natural causes. He wished to thank his many friends for their unselfish contributions to his life, from relatives who feed America, to the highest-level IBM product service folks who encouraged and promoted his career. He privately participated in various ministries and gave praise to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As a fiscal conservative, his motto was to “Save Some, Spend Some, and Give Some” encouraging others to do the same. Terry was a 60-year contributor to the Studebaker Drivers Club, with past experience as mechanic, computer software developer, Information Systems Vice President in Texas, then as International System Support for Amway until his retirement in 2012. He was preceded in death by his father, Joseph Bellgraph; mother, Bonnie Bellgraph; and brother, Mark Bellgraph. Terry is survived by his wife of 44 years, Norma; children, Brian Bellgraph (Piper Benjamin), Matthew (Vanessa) Bellgraph, and Cheryl (Neil) Costello; siblings, Larry (Ann) Bellgraph, Sherry (Jack) Carr, Jodie (Shane) Phillips; five grandchildren, Corynn, Olivia, Phaedra, Easton, and Anna; and 15 nieces and nephews. A service to remember Terry will be held at 11 am on Monday, July 17, 2023 at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW with Pastor Dennis Gilbert officiating. Relatives and friends may meet the family beginning at 10 am prior to the service at the funeral home. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to a charity of your choice.

I’m sorry for your loss. If this is the same Terry Bellgraph, and I think it is, he gave me my first job at the Sunoco station he had. He was great to work for.

Very sorry to hear of his passing. Though I did not know Terry, I very much enjoyed his interactions and requests on Real Oldies Music Radio. Obviously a really good guy! Sincere condolences to the family.
