Terry Guyer Shuman died on August 19, 2024, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania following a brief illness. He was 78. Born to Lester Shuman and Lila Hunter on March 13, 1946, in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, Terry earned a BA in Social Studies from Lock Haven University and worked as a high school history teacher before moving to the bustling community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1973. It was a decision that he never regretted. Terry joined the Eastern York school district as a guidance counselor, where he helped students shape the rest of their lives. At Eastern York, he met his future wife Sharon Szabo, and eventually served as head of the Guidance Department.

Terry went on to earn two Masters degrees, including one in Deaf Studies from the prestigious Gallaudet University, where he was one of the first known individuals to hypnotize a deaf person.

Terry was an accomplished athlete and coach, particularly in the discus and shot put. He was a three-time PSAC champion in discus (1965, 1967, and 1968) and a co-founder of Lancaster's Long and Strong thrower's club. He was an avid reader, too, especially books focused on history, science, or the future. In his later years, he became interested in genealogy and engaged in fiction writing as part of a local writer's club. He also loved his iPad.

Terry was empathetic and insightful about human nature, which made him the family's go-to for counsel during crises or difficulties. He also had a boisterous sense of humor. His sons Sid and Sam fondly remember Terry taking them to see Jurassic Park in the theater five times, but also for introducing them to football, science fiction, and history. Flan was his favorite dessert, cashews were his favorite snack, and Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin was his favorite song.

He'll be greatly missed by his family, friends, former students and colleagues, and fellow athletes.
