Terry grew up in South Livonia on Decker Road with his siblings until the passing of his Mother. He graduated from Livonia High School in 1970. Terry worked many jobs until he started working for Strohmann’s bakeries in 1975, retiring after 37 years. He loved his family with all of his heart; you could never stop the smiles when the grandkids or great grandkids came into the room. He loved his scratch off tickets and all of us thought he had the luck, which he usually did. He was an amazing dad, grandfather, brother, and friend.

So sorry to hear of Terry’s passing. So many memories of growing up in South Livonia with the gang (the Kelley’s, the Kiefer’s, Betty Johnston and his brothers Arnold and Denny). You were a great friend and a fellow member of the Livonia Class of 1970. RIP Terry. You will be missed.
Terry was a great person, always with a smile. A gentle man, very family oriented and always spoke with love about them. He will be missed. Now he’s with his brother. I remember once while working in Wests the two, mostly Terry, would buy scratch off s and Denny said “we’re working on him, I’m his sponsor”.
