Obituary:
Terry L. Huiting, Little Chute, 56, died Saturday March 21, 2009, at Appleton Medical Center after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born in Appleton on July 24, 1952, to Theodore and Jule (Vanden Heuvel) Huiting. Terry was a 1970 graduate of St. John High School and served in the Army from 1972-1974. He married Paula Hammen on Oct. 1, 1976, at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church, where he was a lifelong member. Athletics were always of great importance in Terry's life. He was a member and past president of the St. John Athletic Association and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005. He also ran the Athletic Association food stand at Kermis and Cheesefest. Terry was instrumental in implementing the St. John Athletic Association Annual Golf Outing and organized it for many years. He was able to share his love of sports by coaching numerous youth teams. One of his greatest joys was following his sons in their athletic pursuits through grade school, high school and college. He belonged to the Thursday Night Little Chute Golf Association. In addition to his tireless involvement in Little Chute athletics, Terry was a Village Trustee from 1977-1983, and a member of the Little Chute Water Commission. He was a member of the Jacob Coppus American Legion Post 258. Terry retired from Allis Chalmers/Inland Material Handling in 2004 after 29 years of service. He then fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening a sports bar and grill as co-owner of the 5th Quarter Sports Bar and Restaurant, where he was known for his famous Old Fashioneds.
Terry is survived by his wife of 32 years, Paula; sons: Brian, Joe and Craig, all of Little Chute; parents: Theodore and Jule Huiting; brothers: Tom (Sandy), Dick (Es), Tim and Mark (fiancee Ann McGuire); sisters: Marsha (Tom) Guckenberg and Ann Huiting; father and mother-in-law: Gordon and Margaret Hammen; sisters-in-law: Julie (Jon) Brockman, Mary Ellen (Dave) Wittmann, Laurie (Kevin) Coffey, Patty (Gary) Aman and Carrie Hammen. He is further survived by many nieces, nephews and friends.
Visitation will be held Tuesday March 24, 2009, at ST. JOHN NEPOMUCENE CATHOLIC CHURCH (323 S. Pine St.) beginning at 1 p.m. until time of Mass at 5 p.m. The Rev. James Hablewitz will officiate.

A special thank you to his many friends for their prayers and support, especially those who regularly attended Tuesday morning mass. Terry's family would also like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Guenther and the entire staff at Martha Siekman Cancer Center and the nurses at Appleton Medical Center 3 South for their care and compassion extended to Terry and his family.
Terry touched a lot of lives and if you met him, you would not forget him. His smile was contagious and his interest in others was genuine.
