TESCHMACHER, GUY WARREN, 72
TESCHMACHER, GUY WARREN, 72, died July 20, in Royalton. Born in Chicago on Dec. 7, 1939, Guy was the son of Dorothy Augusta Mosher and Henry Warren Teschmacher. He grew up in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., and graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Arts in architecture. A practicing architect for nearly 50 years, his life and career spanned much of the East Coast, including New York City, Philadelphia, Savannah, Ga., Hilton Head Island, S.C., and Richmondville, N.Y., before settling in Montpelier. A clock that Guy designed in 1966, with Allen Klein, resides in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Guy was a member of the AIA-Vermont board of directors from 2002 to 2010 and president in 2008. He was a former partner at Black River Design in Montpelier, where projects included the Mayo Center and library for St. Johnsbury Academy, and he previously worked in the offices of Northern Design, Lawrence Atkin, Architect, Forrest Teschmacher Architects and Wadhams Co. Although Guy officially retired in 2010, he continued to be involved in various projects until his death. He played a significant role in AIA-Vermont's CANstruction, a design competition to benefit local food shelves, and more recent contributions include co-chairing both Learning by Design, an outreach program in elementary schools, and the annual AIA-Vermont Golf Tournament to benefit the Hanne N. Williams Scholar Recognition Fund. The last two years also found him embracing retirement with renewed pursuits of his lifelong hobbies: building model airplanes, playing golf and riding his motorcycle, a 1973 Norton. Guy leaves his two children, Alexander Teschmacher and Kara Teschmacher, and his former wife, Patricia. He is also survived by his three sisters, Marilyn Mower, Gail McCormick and Diana Coleman, as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded by the death of his daughter Nina.
