He was especially honored to serve for many years as\u00a0Chairman\u00a0of the Deacons, offering guidance, compassion, and steady support to his church family.<\/p>\n
Above all, Terry\u00a0was\u00a0a family man. He was a\u00a0beloved husband, a proud father and stepfather, and the cherished\u00a0\u201cPopPop\u201d\u00a0of his two grandchildren, who brought him tremendous joy.<\/p>\n
