Deep Regrets…

March 3, 2021 Posted by aeadmin

Dear Residents,

I am so very sorry to have to inform you all that Terry Bonds, our 30-year newly retired (January 2021) maintenance staff member, passed away last night.  Terry was surrounded by his family at Northwestern Memorial, and we are happy he was not alone.

Terry was as kind as he was gentle, and served the Association with his personal touch each and every day.  I only met Terry a year ago, but in that short time, I got to know him well and he will certainly be missed – I will, no doubt, miss the conversations about jazz music and his experience during that golden age in Chicago.

Terry leaves behind 5 children, many grandchildren, a great grandchild on the way, and countless friends.  Please keep Terry and his family in your thoughts and prayers.  We will keep everyone apprised of any further information and arrangements.

Sincerely,

Michael Vitek

Property Manager

    Terry was a kind, gentle and caring employee. He worked hard and never was lax on his time at work. I enjoyed our conversations and I appreciated his loyalty and dedication to James Kilmer. Employees like Terry are rare and are hard to keep because of their popularity that other buildings want Terry like employees! He will be missed.

    Very sorry to hear about Terry. Would see him and had many conversations with him after my walk with my dog.
    He was always a gentleman and was professional about performing his duties here. Many people did not know he was an artist as well.
    We shared our drawings and I tried to get him to show his work. He, however was comfortable in the fact that his kids and grandkids liked his drawings.
    We were lucky to have him here for so many years. He was a great part of fine group of employees we have had here over the years.
    He will be missed
