Terry was born on April 15, 1948, in Everett, MA; he was the dear son of the late Chester T. and Ruth E. (Small) Driscoll. Terry was raised and educated in Everett; he lost both parents by the age of 15 but with his brother and sister-in-law's love and guidance he went on to graduate from Everett High School.

Terry served actively and honorably until June of 1971 and earned the rank of Sargent; he was honorably discharged and continued to serve the country until September of 1973 with the Air Force Reserves.
Upon his return home, Terry, moved in with his brother and family in Wilmington with whom he was very close, he fit in well in his new community and met "his sweetheart" Patricia Juergens who lived right across the street. The couple started a great friendship and were soon inseparable; they married in 1972, bought their home in Wilmington and raised two beautiful children.

Terry had a great personality and always went out of his way to help others at work; he made many good friends at work throughout the years. Terry retired in 2010 following more than forty years of dedicated service to the Post Office.
In his spare time, Terry enjoyed polishing his cars, going to car shows, or heading out for a round of golf with his buddies. He loved a good corn hole tournament or a game of pool just for fun. Most of all he treasured the time he spent with his family and friends.
