Terry Holub Obituary
Terry Lee Holub was born on March 20, 1948 in Viroqua, WI to Marlin and Constance (Allen) Bailey. He came to live with Ed and Hazel Holub when he was 10 years old and they accepted him into their family.

Terry was united in marriage to Cheryl Erickson on July 9, 1988. They shared 37 years together. Over the years he worked in various jobs and fields. He always said "I'm a jack of all trades and master of none."
The greatest of his loves was his children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed attending events for his great nieces and nephews. Hunting and fishing were big things in his life. He loved to joke around and "pick" on everyone. His sense of humor was one of a kind. His favorite phrase was "Still Kickin" and he tried to every day of his life.
