His trucking career spanned fifty years until his retirement in 2015. In his leisure time, Terry enjoyed riding his Harley’s, in which he and his wife had many adventures. He was a stock car racing fan and enjoyed attending the races at Midvale Speedway and following the NASCAR circuit. He enjoyed being a snowbird, camping and fishing in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and Lake Okeechobee, Florida.
