Through one of those visits, he met his best friend, Paul Gochenour, who invited him to church and about a year ago, Terry joined the church and became a regular attendee until he was called to his heavenly home. Terry is survived by his sister, Betty, husband Glenn Gaede, of Enid, OK, 4 nephews, 1 niece, 2 great nieces and many cousins.
