In Memoriam – Terry Hutton
Friday, August 7, 2015
"It is with deep sorrow that we inform you that our longtime partner, newsletter editor, and friend Terry Hutton passed away on July 30th following a heart attack. Terry was one of the two founding members of the firm when Howe & Hutton, Ltd. first opened its doors in 1985. After moving to Senior Status in 2005, he continued on a part-time basis to serve clients and edit our monthly newsletter, The Howe & Hutton Report, until he passed. He will be sorely missed by us and by all that knew and trusted him and his coun-sel in the association community.
Terry graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a BBA, and from the Northwestern University School of Law with honors where he was a member of the Law Review and Order of the Coif. He was a four-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, leaving active duty as a Lieutenant, with tours aboard a Pacific Fleet destroyer and with the U. S. Naval Advisory Force in Vietnam. He also worked at the National Bank of Detroit preceding and RCA fol-lowing his naval service. He has represented over fifty trade associations and professional societies. He was active in Association Forum of Chicagoland which awarded him its 2002 Supplier Partner Service Award in recognition of his participation, and in the American Society of Association Executives where he served on the Legal Section. He has been a presenter at Association Forum, ASAE, NYSAE, SLSAE, ColSAE and TSAE meetings, and at numerous association and hospitality industry meetings. He was also a member of the American, Illinois State and Chicago Bar Associations. His principal area of practice was the general representation of associations and professional societies, with concentration in corporate, contract, employment and antitrust law, litigation, and consulting on asso-ciation governance matters.
A Memorial Service is being planned."
