Terry was a step father to Melodie Tate and Mindy Meinert for many years who cherished their time as a family with Marissa and TJ and Marlynn. It would have been nice to see them acknowledged in the obituary. Our love to Nonie and family and their time Terry was in their life. For all of his family we offer our sympathy to you.
