To accommodate his family-life better, Terry joined American Electric, then Kris Davis (Boarderstates Electric).

Terry’s hobbies included hunting, fishing and going out shooting at the gun range. He enjoyed many adventures with his family. Terry’s big heart led him to many volunteer events, one being his concession stand.
