Terry is dearly missed by his wife of 52 years, Barbara (Barb) Mendenhall Lowe, also of The Villages (and also a 1970 West High graduate). Terry is also survived by daughter Christine (Tom) Rhodes, granddaughter Stephanie (Casey) Peth, and great-grandson Oliver Peth, all of the Denver, Colorado area. He is also survived by his brother-at-heart, Gene (JR) Morgan (also a 1970 West High grad), his life-long best friend.

Terry and Barb moved to Florida in 2017 after spending 38 years in Aurora and Parker, Colorado.  He enjoyed fishing in the many lakes and ponds in The Villages, experiencing particular joy when fishing with great-grandson Ollie whenever he visited. Terry was a member of The Villages Woodworkers Club, where he mentored novice woodworkers. He also had a very well-equipped home woodshop, where he spent many happy hours.
