Terry was a member of Wiota Lutheran Church and served on the West Wiota Cemetery Board and church council. Terry proudly served on the South Wayne Fire Department for many years, acting as chief for several years. He was a founding member of the Black Hawk Cruisers Car Club and was proud of his ’67 Impala. He was a life-long supporter of Black Hawk Football and worked as part of the “chain gang” for many years.
Above all, Terry loved and supported his family. From coaching his children in little league to supporting them in high school and college athletics, helping with projects and remodeling at homes and shops, celebrating over 50 years of marriage with his wife, and adoring every moment with his beloved grandchildren – he cherished every moment with his family.
