Terry was a very proud Florida Gator and a graduate of the University of Florida. His parents moved to SW Florida when he was very young from the Detroit area. Terry worked in his parents’ citrus groves and on their cattle ranch in Sarasota area. He served in the US Army stationed in Europe. He went on to become his own boss in several fields settling on sales-traveling the entire United States.
He was best known for his never ending sense of humor and the many pranks he would pull.
After settling in Marshall County in 1993, he retired in 1999 and started volunteering many hours to the Marshall County area, most specifically in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and Marshall County RSVP. He was honored by being the recipient of the Presidential Volunteer Service Award/Medal after accumulating thousand of hours of time.
He was a member of St. William Church.
There will be no local service for Terry but rather a memorial “party” in Florida at a future date.
Don’t cry because it happened-Smile because you knew him.
