Terry was a barber in Shelbyville and Shelbina for many years and worked in C&R and IGA grocery stores until retirement. Terry also built their home in Shelbina, where they lived in for 43 years. After retirement, Terry and his wife liked to load up the travel trailer and head as snowbirds to warmer spots. Moving to Fulton allowed Terry to be closer to his brother and his family. In his final days, Terry and Delores moved back to Macon to be closer to his birth home.
