Terrance E. Weiss

Terrance Eugene Weiss, a resident of Clawson, died on Thursday, July 11, 2024, at the age of 79. Born on April 15, 1945 in Wilmington, Delaware to Ed and Mary O'Rourke Weiss. Terry dedicated his life to serving his country and his community. He served in the U.S. Army as a boatswain with the 1098th Transportation Company during the Vietnam War. When he returned home, Terry made his career as a police officer, spending 27 years as a patrolman with the City of Troy. Terry had a passion for Sudoku and logic puzzles, loved a good laugh, and was always quick with a joke. He had a fondness for cowboy boots, convertibles, 7 and 7s, and John Wayne. He was a remarkable shot and loved skeet shooting with his kids and son-in-law. Terry enjoyed British mysteries and trying to solve all the world's problems. He also cherished his family deeply. At the beginning of every year he would spend an hour at Hallmark selecting birthday cards for each family member - a meaningful and loving tradition for him. Terry also loved his pipe and would only smoke Captain Black in a white can. Known for his ability to fix anything with care and precision, he was a man of many talents and passions, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, service, and love. Loving father of Terrance (Melissa) Weiss, Jr. and Kristy (Ben) Stevenson. Proud grandfather of William and Connor Weiss. Dear brother of Mimi (Frank) Goss, Edie (the late Dave) Peoples, Ed (Peggy) Weiss, Patty (Gary) Gathen, Kevin (Wendy) Weiss, Eileen Weiss, and Carol Matthews.
