Terry and Evelyn were married June 4, 1976. He spent the next 45+ years spoiling his “Wa”. He was so proud of their children, grandchildren and their first little great-grandson due this Spring. Terry was affectionately known as the Tinman, Nana’s sweet T and to so many as Pops. Terry’s favorite thing to do was to take the kid’s fishing or just hanging out. He proudly enjoyed watching their sporting events. His “happiest” place was on the baseball field especially with Brayden and his friends at Grandview School. Terry loved sharing his love of the game with the young men, as well as Logan and Abby. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Ruth Jennings; paternal grandparents, Lonnie and Laurie Story; his in-laws, Bill and Marie Taylor.
