Terry worked as a top salesman throughout his career, working as a seed corn salesman, ready to wear goods as well as an automobile salesman. Terry always strove to be honest and fair in his occupation. Terry was a member of the Eldora United Methodist Church and the Lions Club. He loved to golf and scored a hole in one when he was twelve. Terry had the opportunity to golf in Scotland twice at the old course at St. Andrews. He enjoyed golfing in tournaments and passing on his love of golf to his children. Terry was a great fan of the Central Women's Golf Team, attending as many meets as he could. Fishing was also another hobby that Terry enjoyed.
