Terry was a hardworking man and had many skill sets, certifications, and a Master’s degree in mechanical engineering.

His favorite thing to do in the workforce was carpentry work.

He was known as a “wild man”, he loved exploring the outdoors, being in the woods, hunting and fishing, with fishing being his favorite.

He was the type to do everything he could to get someone laughing and smiling, he had his well-known jokes and songs he would sing. He is beloved by his grandchildren who he spoiled rotten.

He had a love for God that was strong and meaningful. He tried his very best to love life and walk through it the way God wanted him to.

He is very much missed and loved by his family. Terry left behind good lessons and laughter that will never be forgotten.

Tall and gruff the big bear seemed, but he was as gentle as can be. A big man with eyes filled with wonder and joy. He made the world smile and the leaves waved good bye, as he walked towards a new adventure filled with an everlasting love.
