Terry Maish

Terry Maish, age 77, of Henderson, KY, passed away at 9:06AM, Friday, September 19, 2014, at St. Mary’s Medical Center in Evansville, IN. Terry was born in 1937 to parents Don and Nerine Maish. He fell in “love at first sight” when he saw a lovely girl named Janice and married her seven months later. They lived in Kansas early in their life and Terry worked in the oil industry. While working, he continued his education at Pittsburg State University in Kansas where he was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. In 1963, they moved to Kentucky. Terry picked up employment as a city fire inspector while taking classes at University of Evansville. His love for drawing and design was soon utilized when he went to work for Charles Zausch, a local architect. His hand was in the construction of Redbanks Towers and the Library at Henderson Community College. Terry retired in 2002 after 20 years as a Henderson County building and codes inspector. He then took his bride to Barkley Lake and bought them a cozy dream home where they enjoyed good times with close friends for many years. Terry enjoyed fishing, BBQing and John Wayne movies. He was, not surprisingly, awarded the distinction of being named a Kentucky Colonel. Terry was an avid UK Basketball fan and he would fly those flags all year round, basketball season or not. He was a sentimental man with a big generous heart. He was kind and loving. A lot of kids were in and out of their home as his children grew up and they all called him “Dad”. Terry was a hardworking man who loved his family and his friends. His grandkids filled his heart with love and pride. In addition to his parents, Terry Maish was preceded in death by a brother, Jim Maish. Survivors include: Wife of 54 years: Janice Maish 1 Son: David Maish and his wife Lisa 1 Daughter: Sherri Hogg-Hazelwood and her husband Carey 3 Grandchildren: Jackson Hogg, Bo David Hazelwood and Grace Maish all of Henderson At the time of Terry’s death, his son, David, had a significant surgery already scheduled.
