"Do what you love, love what you do." - Terry's favorite quote Terry will be remembered for his helpful giving nature, warm welcoming smile, ready to fill any need and always putting others before himself. Terry earned a Doctorate degree from the University of California - Davis and later worked as a school psychologist. Auto mechanics became a passion and he ran a business repairing vehicles. He served the Catholic Diocese, often transporting the Monsignor and was a deacon to the church in Davis. Terry lived his life as a servant of our Lord, stepping in when there was a need. For 15 years he filled the role of caregiver to his parents until their deaths. Terry loved the ocean and especially watching antics of porpoises. Frolicking squirrels gave him great joy while tending to his parents' needs. He will forever be in the hearts of friends and family.
