Terry Bellgraph

​

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.

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.
