Terry served in the Louisiana Army National Guard for 8 years. He also had two careers in his lifetime. He was a licensed barber as well as a professor at the New Orleans Barber College and then a welder for Avondale Shipyard until his retirement. Terry loved the Lord, his family, wife, children, grands, great-grands and friends with all of his heart. He enjoyed gardening, cajun festivals, cooking, long drives with Mary and spending time with his family. He was a loving, kind, thoughtful and compassionate man who after years and years of being married to Mary, came to understand her ways, sense of humor, laughed hysterically with her, sometimes to include an eye roll! Terry will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
