Terry W. Amsden

Terry W. Amsden 1952 – 2022 BRUNSWICK – Terry W. Amsden, 70, of Brunswick, died Friday Sept. 23, 2022, at his home. He was born in Hartford, Conn., on July 2, 1952, the son of Harold and Joanne Pelletier Amsden. Terry was an award-winning artist whose artwork is featured on everything from Patriotic t-shirts released nationwide during the first gulf war to museum quality paintings. He was a musician, playing trumpet with the bands of “Open Road” and “Too Much Too Soon” for almost 30 years. He was also a talented photographer and featured many of Maine’s beautiful state parks in his works. He worked at LL Bean and was known as “Terry the Bootmaker” and, as such, can be seen in a Smithsonian feature of LL Bean. The pride he took when he made the boots can be seen in a film on the LL Bean website.
