Planning Ahead

Why plan ahead for a funeral?

Preplanning funerals has become increasingly popular. An estimated 4.5 million people will have made these important arrangements by the year 2000. Planning a funeral offers not only security but also peace of mind- it relieves you and your family from an unexpected financial burden, plus family members will not have to make additional difficult decisions at an already difficult time. The Andrew D. Ferguson Funeral Home also offers the Family Protection Plan as an added benefit to any pre-arrangement.

What is the Family Protection Plan?

We will extend protection to the family of any adult that pre-arranges his or her own funeral with Andrew D. Ferguson Funeral Home.

Who is protected?

Any unmarried children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren under the age of 18 years old are protected.

How long are they protected?

The protection is in force during the life of the person who has the pre-arrangements and as long as the pre-arrangements are still with the Andrew D. Ferguson Funeral Home.

What is provided by this protection?

If the death occurs of a child that is protected, Andrew D. Ferguson Funeral Home will provide services and merchandise equal to the value of the services and merchandise selected on the pre-arrangement of the adult for free. The family must select Andrew D. Ferguson Funeral Home, or a church, as the location of the funeral, and Andrew D. Ferguson Funeral Home will conduct and provide the services and merchandise.

Terry R. Wilson

Terry R. Wilson, 87, of Uniontown, PA, passed from this life on Sunday, June 15, 2025, at Monarch Meadow PCH where he resided for the last six years and where he acquired the name Big T. He was born September 12, 1937, in Brownsville, PA, the older of two sons of the late Dalton L. and Violet E. (Elliott) Wilson. Terry served in the United States Air Force from October 1955 until October 1959, having enlisted with friends, Harold Babbony and Richard Dreistadt. While in the service, he gained another lifelong friend in Donald “Ozzie” Ostrander, who also shared his love of Indian motorcycles. He was stationed in Florida and Louisiana, and talked about his travels including to Madagascar. In 1962, he married Esther Golden with whom he shared just three months shy of 60 years when she predeceased him in June 2022. He was also predeceased by his first grandchild, Gregory Blaszczak, in May 2021. He was employed by Tingley Rubber Corp., New Jersey, and then for 30 years until retirement by Rockwell International, later named Sensus Technologies, of Uniontown. Terry was not a member of any formal club/organization since he preferred riding his Harley to drop in on friends around the area whenever the mood struck him. He and Esther also took many car trips down South in the 80s and 90s. He was meticulous in his care of the lawn and in his organization of his home workshop area (or any area within his purview). During his time at Monarch Meadow, he was known for his love of sweets, cigarettes and handheld poker game. That can also be said of his life at home, along with his fondness for the Fabulous 50s. Terry is survived by his three children: Karen L. Wilson Thompson (Tim), Ronald R. Wilson and Nancy L. Wilson Blaszczak (Greg). Five grandchildren are left to remember “Pappy Skunk”: Emily Blaszczak Gill (Chris), Benjamin Blaszczak, Katie Thompson, Parker Wilson and Blake Wilson.

Eichmiller; maternal relatives from Brownsville; and, a number of friends.
