Terry Duffield Obituary

Published by Legacy on May 2, 2024.
Terry Allen Duffield Sr, 78, of Toms River, passed away suddenly at his home on April 30, 2024. Terry was born at Mitchel Airfield Hospital in Hempstead, Long Island, NY.
Terry met his first wife Donna in high school and started off traveling around the world in the Navy where he learned the mechanic craft that was his lifetime career. He was the most fortunate of men where he got to date the two loves of his life. His first wife Donna who he was married to for 26 years and his second wife Patricia for 31 years.
He was the most amazing father a child could ever want to have. There was never a time he would say no to a request and always had a shoulder to lean on and cry on if necessary. There was no distance he wouldn't travel and nothing he would not do for any of his four children.
There wasn't a truck he couldn't fix, a tree he couldn't cut down or leaves he couldn't rake. His happy place was behind the wheel of his riding mower.
Terry is predeceased by his parents, Velma and Joseph Duffield; his first wife, Donna Duffield; and his second wife, Patricia Duffield.
Terry is survived by his son, Terry Allen Duffield Jr.; daughter, Sherri Duffield Brown; son, Gregory Conard; daughter, Tracie Glicker; and six grandchildren, Kylie, Alexander, Isbella, Blaise, Winter and Wylder.
Cremation has taken place at his request. There will be no funeral service. We invite you to please privately celebrate Terry's memory in your own way.

Terry was such an unfailingly kind man. While visiting Pat years ago, my son noticed Terry´s sports car in the garage, admiring it. Terry immediately took him for a spin in it. My son still remembers that ride fondly.

Seeing him gaze lovingly at Pat while dancing at a retirement party. His love for her was so beautiful.
