He loved hearing about his children’s lives; had a fondness for “critters,” wild and domestic; enjoyed watching car races on TV, was especially proud of his restored ’57 Chevy Nomad and always found solace in fishing even at an early age.

God answered Terry’s prayer with Linda, his wife of 34 years. They relocated from Santa Clara County to Lakeport and couldn’t believe how blessed they were to retire young and live in this lovely resort community.

Terry was happiest fishing on “HIS” lake and swapping stories with his fishing buds. After coffee at Hamburger Hill, every day at mid-morning you would find him at the Fifth Street launch ramp.

He enjoyed the camaraderie of the members of the Clearlake Bassmasters and held several offices. Thank you to club members and friend who assisted him on his “bad” days.
