Terrance Schattl Obituary

I wish you could be here, back in the old neighborhood to visit. We could talk about so much. Love of cars and love of family. So many years gone and I still remember you at the St.Mel football game. feel we will meet again soon.

Father, I still can't believe you are gone. I wish we had more time together. You raised me well and taught me so much, but I wish I could have learned more from you. You never asked anyone for anything, yet you always gave all you had. In the end you faced death so bravely. I never knew how much pain you were in because you never said how much it hurt. You never told anyone so they would not treat you differently. You are a great man and the best Father I could have had, but you left us before your time was up. Be certain that you will be loved forever and never forgotten! May you finally rest in peace and suffer no more. Watch over us when we think of you. We will see you soon. All my love and thanks, Your Son.

I worked with Terry at Aramark for nearly 2 years in the same department. We saw eachother every day and his sense of humor defnitely kept me going through some of the more droll days. His passion for technology, cars and movies sparked an instant friendship between us. I looked up to Terry. I will miss him dearly.

Terry and I met many years ago at the Wheaton Car Cruise. As I parked my Chevelle , I noticed Terry and his Chevelle across the street. I took a walk over and we started to talk. That night our great friendship began. We have had many great times since that day and I will miss him always. RIP Terry my friend. Jim Wielgus

Terry was a great guy to work with at Lucent (Western Electric before that). I'm sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathies go out to his family. Marty Rench

Terry was a valued employee at ARAMARK. He was always the professional and a very kind man. His family should take pride in knowing he spoke very positively about them.

I worked with Terry at Aramark. He made me feel comfortable and welcome when I started. I always looked up to his wisdom and intelligence. If I needed help repairing my car or anything else, he had great advice for me. We shared the same enthusiasm about future technology and had many extended conversations. I miss you man.

Terry was our team lead and mentor at IBM /Lucent, but more than that he was a friend. He was a real team player and always there when you needed him. Though we hadn't been in touch recently I thought of him often. He will be missed.

Terry and I were roommates at AT&T / Lucent / IBM. We spent many an hour performing Desktop Support. During slow times we spent chatting about our various interests and going out to lunch with “our gang”. I remember the many times I rode in his Chevelle especially when he first got it running well and took me for a 100MPH + ride down Warrenville road. I remembered him showing off his car at the Wheaton Car nights. I also gave him my matchbook collection. He was a long time good friend who will be missed - Walter Miller

Terry was a great guy. We were neighbors and friends when he lived on 55th street. Always a happy, polite and class guy. He and his Dad, whom I missed for so many years, have been in my thoughts and prayers for a long time, along with the rest of the family.
