Terry loved to spend time outdoors whether he was waterfowl hunting, fishing, gardening, or just cutting the grass.  He also loved to grill (outdoors) cook,  and bake, especially for family meals on Sundays. Terry loved animals and he enjoyed spoiling his dogs Bob, Gary and Ladybug.

His Irish wit and enormous sense of humor would stand out when he would hand out nick names or pull unexpected pranks.

Terry was very spiritual man with a strong faith in God, Jesus Christ, and the Catholic Church. He tried to live his life like his savior by showing kindness and generosity to friends and strangers alike. Although he had his own challenges, he was more concerned about the well being of others and approached each as a gift from God.
