In his older years you could always find Terry out in his shop tinkering with whatever he could get his hands on. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing in his younger years. At one point, while residing in Canada his daughter Teresa can remember Terry taking them to their usual outing on Sunday afternoon which was the gun range. That become one of their traditions.
