His remarkable career spanned forty years with the city of Eunice, where he faithfully served in the Eunice Street Department. Terry was known for his sense of humor and playful spirit, often joking and teasing those around him. However, beyond laughter, it was the deep love he held for his family that truly defined him. His nieces and nephews were especially cherished, and the memories they shared will forever be a testament to the bond they had. In his leisure time, Terry found joy in watching western and war movies.
