Terry loved his children and adored his grandchildren; he was proud of them and a staunch advocate of their extracurricular endeavors. He enjoyed playing golf whenever and wherever possible and had a huge sweet tooth, rarely missing any opportunity to grab a quick candy snack. Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and Matlock were staples on the Meagrow television, and beach trips to Topsail Island, North Carolina, forged many fond family memories.
Terry was a talented upholsterer, working at Norwalk Furniture for over 46 years and with his own upholstery business from home. He was a member of Norwalk Eagles No.711 and American Legion Post 41.
Terry is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, and high school sweetheart, Sandra (Friend) Meagrow; son, Benjamin (Sarah) Meagrow, of Sandusky; daughter, Jennifer (Doug) Harold, of Berea; grandchildren, Emma and Maxwell Meagrow and Aiden and Molly Harold; siblings, Steve (Lindy) Meagrow of Norwalk, Jay (Tiffany) Meagrow of Shaker Heights, Jeff (Cara) Meagrow of Bath Township and Kim (Mark) Sprowl Spindler of Bellevue; sister-in-law, Linda (William) Muthig of Milan; his nieces, Kristen and Alison Muthig; and special nephew, Brandon Meagrow; and many other nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his birth mother, Norma (Dailey) Sprowl; birth father, Paul J. Meagrow; stepparents, David Sprowl and Kathy Meagrow; brother, Brian (Kathleen) Meagrow; and in-laws, Max (Betty) Friend.

Sandy, I was saddened to hear that Terry passed away. I've known him and Steve since grade school and I worked with Terry at Norwalk Furniture many years ago. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. He will truly be missed!
