BURR, Terry Dean "Burr" Terry Dean "Burr" Burr, age 79, of Troy, OH, passed away on Wednesday, September 2, 2020.

He was like my best friend. Every time I went over to grandma's house he was always outside and I would go and talk to him. He was a very big green bay packer fan. We always talked out how our football team was doing. I loved him so much. I use to be scared to come over on Halloween because he would sit on the coffin and it scared me so bad. I love you so much Nancy if you need anything let me know. I know how hard it is to lose someone you are very close with. I just lost grandpa and they were great friends. Terry is my angel.

Great teacher and a cool guy, good memories of welding school, stopping by talking with him, getting advice about a welding procedure and a cold drink in days past and a catch up visit recently from my car (because of THE VIRUS) as I was driving by his house. Rest in Peace.
