Craig Terry was born on July 25, 1948, to Wayne and Phyllis (Olson) Terry in Aberdeen, SD, where he was raised. After graduating from Aberdeen Central High School, Craig began his career working for the railroad, where he developed a strong work ethic that would follow him throughout his life. He went on to serve the community through his 20 years at the Parcel Erickson gas station, before finding his place as a machinist at Hub City, where he dedicated 16 years of service before his retirement.

Craig had a deep love for animals, often with his loyal hunting companion, Tasha, by his side. He had a passion for model trains and was involved in the James Valley Model Railroad Association of Aberdeen. His enthusiasm for model trains was matched only by his joy in tinkering in the garage.

Above all, Craig valued family. He enjoyed spending time with his family and creating precious memories with his grandchildren. Craig will be dearly missed.

Craig leaves behind his loving wife, Georgianne; son, Mike (Staci) Terry; daughter, Rebecca (Mike Baer) Malsam; grandchildren Christopher Terry and Wheeler Malsam; brother, Alan (Connie) Terry; and many brothers and sisters-in-

law.

He was preceded in death by his father, Wayne (Evelyn) Terry, and his mother, Phyllis Terry.
