Terry Ivan Eade

Terry was born on September 16, 1941 in Washington DC to Charles Edwin Eade and Vivian Frances Eade, nee Ostrom. Terry attended the Rochefort American High School in France, the Taipei American School in Taiwan and several schools in the United States. He earned his BA in economics from Central Washington University in 1965 and joined the United States Air Force as a 2nd Lieutenant. He earned his MBA in business administration at the University of Utah in 1970, and moved back to Washington where he honorably served as a reservist in the Air National Guard for 16 years, achieving the rank of Major and serving as the Commandant of the Leadership Academy. Terry earned his PhD in higher education econometrics in 1977 from the University of Washington and worked as controller at Highline Community College and as Vice President of Yakima Valley Community College. Terry spent 13 years working as the Assistant Superintendent of Central Kitsap and South Kitsap School Districts, where in 1990 he met and married Sharon Paul, and went on to work as the Director of Education and Training of the Electronic Commerce Resource Center (ECRC), where he retired in 1997.

Terry was a snowbird, living in both Chandler, Arizona and Port Orchard, Washington. He enjoyed a life of leisure and productivity on golf courses at Gold Mountain and Sunbird Golf Resort and as an active poker player who enjoyed spending his retirement at ‘the office.’ He enjoyed traveling, motorcycle trips, going on cruises, spending as much time as possible with family and friends and would always be heard saying “that reminds me of a joke”. Terry was a consummate humanitarian as well as an intellectual. He was a prolific author and illustrator with titles including Dave’s Adventures in the Afterlife, The Last Minute Manager, The CATaclysmic CATastrophe and The Frightening Fruition of Frumpism. A career that continued in retirement, Terry became Senior Partner of the Alternative Engineering Associates and was most proud of his work as the co-founder and inventor of the patented Orca Wave Energy System.

Terry is survived by his wife Sharon Eade; son Clifton Eade, daughter in law Julie Eade, granddaughter Jordan Eade and grandson Tyler Eade; daughter Theresa Hulihan and son in law Chuck Hulihan; stepson Cory Paul, daughter in law Melinda Paul, and grandson Adrian Paul. He was preceded in death by sister Charlene “Sherry” Griffith, nee Eade.

Due to current pandemic restrictions, additional planning time is required for a future celebration of life. Terry will be honored at the National Cemetery in Phoenix, AZ, date and time to be determined. In lieu of gifts or flowers, donations in his name can be made to Hospice of the Valley or the Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Global Research Foundation.
