Grandpa will always have a special place in our hearts. Him and Grandma "Joyce" never missed a birthday or special occasion, always sending there love and regards. Grandpa always listening to what we had going on and sharing advice on how to approach the matter; whether it was deciding on where to go to eat, which band we should see next or how to save. I will forever be able to remember him and his love of gardening as he shared many cuttings with us that have taken root and created a forever home in our garden. He had such a big heart!! We will miss him greatly!! I hope he knows that we will try to get grandma to eat more ice cream.

Love and Condolences,

The Coviello Family

Terry McDowell played a critical role in the creation of the Census Bureau's geospatial database called TIGER. He was a perfectionist. He helped so many employees of the Census Bureau to better understand various concepts behind the bureau programs and projects, especially the decennial census programs. He was a smart man with passion for consistency, order, and organization. He was a go-to person to understand complex concepts in an easily understandable way - he loved to share his knowledge. He was also someone that loved trying different types of cuisines, and enjoyed dishes that had a lot of sauce. He was a great conversationalist. The whole Geography Division, and many of us at the Census Bureau dearly miss him. I personally will miss him. My sincere condolences to Joyce.
