He married his sweetheart Maxine Stott and her three children; Chris, Michelle, and Tresa on November 24, 1983. Terry spent his days enjoying life. He always had a smile and a joke to tell. He was always a laid back, go with the flow, gets along with everyone kind of guy. He loved his family along with his finches family. He enjoyed music, hunting, fishing, camping, boating, his dogs, and working in the yard, but most of all his grandchildren. They always put a sparkle in his eyes. His favorite thing was being a great husband to his one and only true love; Maxine. Terry spent his younger years in the oilfield and as a CPA.
