Terence S. Alcorn

July 23, 1955 - March 3, 2021

Terence Scott Alcorn, age 65, got out of washing the floors this week by passing away on March 3, 2021. He claimed to be born on July 23, 1955, but significant evidence points toward extraterrestrial origins. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in International Agriculture and Economics from Pennsylvania State University and a Master of Architecture from the University of Buffalo. His career as a university lab architect lead to innovations in design such as making sure the rooms had doors and that the ventilation system moved hazardous fumes away from students. In his spare time, Terence found joy in skiing, woodworking, gardening, working with animals, and going to drag shows with his friends. He was preceeded in death by his parents, Dilworth Leroy Alcorn and Elizabeth Charters Alcorn, and his sister-in-law, Jane (née Kilburg) Alcorn. He is survived by his wife, Hope Gelfand Alcorn; his daughter, Mia Louise Alcorn; his brothers, Paul (Shodie) Alcorn and Charles Alcorn; extended family and friends who loved him; and two pissed off cats, Wisp "Baby Girl" Alcorn and Charlie Bucket "Charlie B" Alcorn. Funeral services will be held virtually on March 7, 2021 at 3 p.m. EST with Temple Sinai. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank or Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania. May his name be a blessing.
