Terry A. Schmidt

Survived by loving wife of 40 years, Molly; children, Kurt, Julie (John) Munnich, Jennifer, Lisa (Frank) Sherman, Keri Elliott and Angela Darst; grandchildren, Iver, Christopher, Andrew Wm, William, Josh, Cristina, Henry, Austin, Trent, and Natalia; and sister-in-law, Evi Schmidt. Preceded in death by parents and brother, Bradford.

Terry proudly wore his U.S. Navy wings of gold, leaving as a Lt. Commander after 5 years of service. He went on to have a nearly 35 year career as a Northwest Airlines pilot, retiring as captain on the DC-10.

Whether it was astronomy, ham radios, model trains, the civil war, or his impeccably manicured lawn, Terry’s passion for his hobbies and his life inspired all of us who loved him so dearly.

Our family wishes to thank Hospice of the Midwest for their exceptional care during Terry’s final months.
