Terry was born July 30, 1947, in Weatherford. Terry had an intense interest in all matters of technology. In his teen years he was the youngest member of the Weatherford Volunteer Fire Department. During his high school years, he became a very talented photographer, in which field he later worked as a professional.

He started working for Litton Industries in 1983 in their Night Vision Department, and worked in several divisions of the company as it grew and expanded to other technologies.

He touched more lives than he knew, and will be missed by many.
