Obituary: Terry Wiseman, 69, Belfast

Sadly, Terry Wiseman of Belfast N.Y. passed away peacefully at Olean General Hospital after a battle with cancer. Terry’s final hours were comforted with love from his local family members and dearest friends.

Terry was the son of Charles Wiseman and Betty Jones, both deceased, as is his brother Dana Granger.

Terry is survived by his brothers Rick Wiseman (Sheree Gielow) and Randy Granger (Patricia Mountain), his son Taylor Wiseman (wife Jennifer, granddaughter Tatum Rose) who is serving a Military Career in Greenwood Indiana, several nieces and nephews, as well as friends and relatives across the country.

Terry was a gifted writer and had a passion for prose. He wrote a leather-clad book of poetry through the late 70’s-early 80’s that was worthy of publication or sold as song lyrics, if not for Terry’s humility. Terry also cherished music and loved playing guitar with his buddies throughout life.

Along with Terry’s creativity came Terry’s competitive spirit; that was cultivated as an All Star athlete at Belfast Central School (1972). His work ethic transferred to his career working several trades, retiring in 2016 from the Local #022 Plumber’s Union.

Terry was a loyal soul, with a heart of gold. His positive energy was loved by all and his sense of humor was contagious. The rooms in the Belfast Community were brighter when he entered them, and now our night sky shines brighter with his star, that will never go out.

In Terry’s final days he delivered a fearless message of assurance while raising a fist with a smile…”I’m a Warrior”.

A celebration of life will be held at a later time.
