Terry loved his grandkids and cherished his time he spent with his babies.  He loved teaching them how to shoot a gun and drive a stick shift in his treasured 1991 Toyota truck.  He was a gentle giant loved by everyone that came to meet him.  He would have loved to have all his kids live next to him.  Of course, he didn’t do the cooking and cleaning, only the fun things.  But that is okay because his wife loved his big heart and his passion for life and family.In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Children's Miracle Network.
