From Terry’s daughter, Lisa:
“Dad left us last night and is Heaven walking the clouds with my mom.. Dad was 83 and was a world learner. I can say he knew a lot about a lot. It didn’t matter the subject, he always had something to say and had knowledge about it. His caregivers would say they were always learning something when with him. He was a Ham Radio Operator for over 30 years, a pilot, and had his own plane up until about 5 years ago. Dad was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Civi Air Patrol. His flying friends were like brothers and his biggest regret was having to give up his plan due to his disability. Dad was raised in Tennessee, but worked at Norfolk Southern Railway for over 40 years. His job brought us to NKY, a home we will forever be grateful for. He was the proud grandparent of five grand-daughters and twelve great-grandchildren. My family will forever be grateful to the loving care team that gave us the ability to keep him home in Lakeside Park these last five years. The Hospice Team at St. Elizabeth was fantastic. What can we say about Rosedale Green?…he was only there two weeks, but the care and spiritual comfort they gave Dad during these two short weeks we will forever grateful for. Fly high Dad! You are on your final flight but the best one! Thank you for raising my brother and I. We were so blessed to have you!”

A graveside service will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 12:00 PM at Floral Hills Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Elizabeth Hospice in Terry’s memory.
