Terry was an exceptional father to John (Julie) and Steve (Jessica), and a proud grandfather to Josephine, Madeline, Ian, and Quinn. He was also a beloved cousin and uncle, and a loyal friend to many across the years - and to their children, and even their children's children.
Terry loved his family and friends unconditionally and was a lifelong Notre Dame football fan. An avid golfer and reader of history, Terry brought warmth, humor, and integrity to every relationship. His kindness and steady presence left a lasting impression on everyone who had the good fortune to know him.
