Terry was born on July 15, 1964, in Peterborough, NH, son of the late Beverly (Dunton) and Leo Vaine. He grew up in Rindge and Fitzwilliam where he attended area schools.

On April 23, 1983, Terry married the love of his life, Judy Ellis.

Terry had been employed by several automotive places including Hillsboro Ford, Custom Drive Shaft, Big and Small, and Mike’s. For the last 20 years, Terry had worked as a mechanic at J & J Autobody in Troy, NH - a job he truly enjoyed.

Even in his free time, Terry liked to tinker on cars. The only greater passion he held was the love he had for his family. He cherished being a husband and father. He gleamed with pride over his granddaughter and appreciated the times spent fishing and creating a special bond.

Terry had a large heart and was always willing to lend a hand. Whether he had know you his whole life, or were a stranger with paths that intertwined, there was no task to small or to large that Terry wouldn’t take on to help someone in need.

Terry will be forever missed by his wife of 39 years: Judy Vaine; daughter: Teresa Graves and her husband Art; granddaughter: Jaidyn Graves; sister: Tara Morris; brothers: Timothy and Anthony Vaine; In-laws: Wayne Ellis and his wife Priscilla, Lynn Raymond, and Carlene Allard; as well as many nieces, nephews, and numerous friends.
