Throughout their many years of marriage and raising their family they enjoyed traveling to the family cabin in Glennie, home renovation, family trips, their children’s functions, and spending quiet time alone together.

Terry was an amazing Father and always made spending time with both of his children a priority. He loved to tell them stories of his life, especially his time in Vietnam. He took every opportunity to be supportive of both kids' interests. He was a cub scout leader and as a nature lover, loved the camping trips. Watching theatre, choir and sporting events made him very proud.

He was an active member of the Veteran of Foreign Wars post 1008. You could find him at the post with his friends, sharing stories and helping anyone who needed it. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
