Terry was a genuine guy, he never met a stranger, in turn he gained lifelong lasting friendships with many. Those friends were important and meaningful to him. Terry worked at Thompson Tire for many years before he decided to retire. But he couldn’t sit still. He then went on to work part time at Advance Auto Parts, but his illness forced him to sit still.
