At one point in his life, he joined the circus.
He got a pilot’s license. Terry worked on a shrimp boat in the Gulf.
Aside from his adventures, he also enjoyed having time alone, and going on cruises. In 1973, he joined the Army and served as an artillerist. After active duty service he joined the reserves and served with an Airborne Unit.
He died on Thursday, June 2, 2022.
