Terry lived his life in Rochester, NY. He was a truck driver for most of his career, employed by Unisource and J&J Trucking. He loved being on the road, whether it was in his truck or on his Harley.

He spent time biking, camping and fishing with his children whenever possible.

So so sorry for your loss. I worked with Terry years ago at Kolko Paper & RMA. Had alot of fun with him! He was a adventurous soul. Another co worker and myself recently reconnected with Terry in early summer. We rode our bikes out to see him and he said he couldn't wait for all of us to go riding. It was great seeing him and I'm so grateful that I got to see him...
I'll always remember him by his beautiful blue eyes and his infectious smile..RIP my friend.
