Terry Pierce Remembered
I HAVE SAD NEWS THAT TERRY PIERCE PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY ON 3-15-10 AT AGE 75 IN CALIFORNIA WHERE HE LIVED AFTER HE RETIRED FROM THE BUDD IN 2003.
HIS 6 YEARS AT THE BUDD COMPANY, ROCHESTER, MICHIGAN--AS GENERAL SUPERVISER, MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING--WHERE HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ASSEMBLY TOOL SYSTEM PROCESSING, DESIGN AND BUILD FOLLOW UP FOR THE BUDD MANUFACTURING PLANTS, WERE THE HAPPIEST YEARS OF HIS 40 YEAR CAREER IN AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING.
HE HAD GREAT PRIDE IN THE COMPANY AND HAD WONDERFUL FELLOWSHIP WITH CO WORKERS
AND SUPERVISORS.
SOME OF HIS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE INDUSTRY WERE THAT HE ALSO WAS INVOLVED IN THE "PROJECT SATURN" AND "CHRYSLER LIBERTY" PROGRAMS, WORKED FOR FORD, CHRYSLER, AND 10 YEARS FOR GENERAL MOTORS. HE ALSO WORKED FOR A NUMBER OF MAJOR AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIERS--MAGNA AND TDM INTERNATIONAL. HE WAS ALSO PLANT MANAGER FOR ESSEX CHEMICAL IN HILLSDALE, MICHIGAN FOR MANY YEARS.
HE GRADUATED FROM THE U.S. MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY, KINGS POINT, N.Y. IN 1959 WITH A DEGREE IN ENGINEERING, AND WITH HONORS-- AND THE U.S. NAVY POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL IN MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA IN NUCLEAR PHYSICS. HE WAS A LIEUTENANT IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY, AND AN OFFICER ON THE USS PERRY.
HE WAS ALSO MY BEST FRIEND FOR 40 YEARS, AND MY HUSBAND FOR 17 YEARS, AND WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHOSE LIVES HE TOUCHED.
THANK GOD FOR HIS YEARS AT THE BUDD COMPANY--IT WAS A STELLAR WAY FOR HIM TO HAVE FINISHED HIS WONDERFUL CAREER IN THE AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY HE SO LOVED.
