He was a Vietnam veteran serving in the Navy and deployed on the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-60). Terry was a lifelong member of the VFW. Terry's passions in life were work, his children, grandchildren and his six Yorkies, his best friend being Lilly. He greatly loved his family and taking care of everyone with top quality and the biggest and best of everything. He was an incredibly generous man with a heart of gold. Terry loved to cook for the family, whether it be breakfast casserole and fried potatoes Christmas morning, a summer cookout or just a Sunday dinner. Terry loved to play cards Friday nights with his mother and siblings, he also loved to have family gatherings at his home with the entire family. These occasions usually were surrounded with a few tables of poker, canasta and horse thief, and Terry always found a way to win. He also loved to garden. Terry had the largest, the best and first tomatoes. He took pride in growing the largest tomatoes, his tomatoes put Tennessee tomatoes to shame. This garden fed the entire family for the summer months. He loved farming and driving his many tractors and loved getting into the fields when he had time. He always took care of his mother, and especially loved taking her to Las Vegas every year for her birthday. Nothing was ever too big or too much. He lived his life the way he wanted to every day, his motto of life was "Go Big or Go Home." Terry began his career at Findlay Industries in June 1976, after serving in the military. During his 33 years at Findlay Industries he worked his way up the ranks to president and CEO. He retired in 2003 and started his next venture in life of founding Centrex Plastics LLC. Centrex is one of the largest consumer products manufacturing companies in the United States. He employed more than 200 people and grew the company to more than $100 million annual sales. Terry's employees were considered family to him, and that is what they were. He donated to many charities and was very supportive of the local community.
