Terrence Boehm

Tribute

Terry was a man who led with compassion, kindness, and understanding. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. Terry’s roots in his hometown ran deep. He attended Purcell Marian High School, a place that would change the course of his life forever, as it was there he met and later married the mother of his future children. After high school, Terry proudly served in the United States Navy, a commitment to service he carried into his civilian life. He eventually dedicated several years working for Cincinnati Water Works. He was intelligent and quick-witted; he had a unique gift for humor and could make any child smile. Music was Terry's language. He didn’t just listen to it; he lived it. He composed music since he was a young boy and played the organ for many years. He even started his own band, leaving behind a legacy of melody and creativity that has filtered into his children and grandchildren. He was a lifelong learner. Throughout his life, he could be found immersed in a book, mastering a game of chess, enjoying all aspects of photography, or challenging himself with a crossword puzzle. He also found great joy in watching football. Perhaps his greatest legacy, however, is the way he taught his children to see the world. He showed them how to find joy with the simple things in life, like the excitement of a local fair, the peace of a nearby park, and the wonder found in zoos and museums. In his final days, Terry was never alone. He was surrounded and supported by his daughters and their families. Terry, your music may have softened, but your song will never end. You will forever be in our hearts.
