Before forming his own company, SWCE, Inc., he worked for Memorex, AT&T and Arthur Andersen. Through SWCE, Inc., he was awarded numerous patents by the United States Patent Office in technologies relating to guidance systems operations, supercritical fluid enrichment of radioactive isotopes and extraction and detection systems and methods through the use of mass spectrometer technology. He was also respected for his expansive knowledge of Federal tax law. Terry spent most of his adult life living in Bernardsville, New Jersey, but had recently relocated to Cape May County. He is survived by his soulmate, Nancy Richter, his brother, Bruce Schroeder, dear friends and colleagues, and his beloved feline companion, Tiger.
