He enjoyed telling stories and teasing his friends and family, as well as hanging out with his "Hunting Crew". Most importantly, Terry enjoyed simply spending time with his wife, Kris, and two daughters, Kennedy and Mallory, whether it was watching TV, having lunch, traveling the world together, or attending sporting events, taking heart-warming selfies along the way.

"Dear Kris, Mallory and Kennedy, I met Terry, in the summer of 1987 during a parade in Geneva, I was the new foreign exchange student in Ackley and I was riding on his truck; I never thought that a year later I was saying goodbye to Terry in tears, only to seeing again a year later in my home country visiting me. We always had a special connection, he always had the right conversation, if you were sad, happy our worried, somehow, he knew what to say to you, and made you feel better. Terry was just special! You could not be mad with Terry or at least not for too long, he was just Terry being Terry. For me, Terry was one of the kindest human beings I have met in life, he always there for me when I needed a friend to talk, we were thousands of miles apart, many years without seeing each other but he always had time for me. Terry leaves me the pleasant memory of such a valuable and unforgettable friendship. I still cannot believe that Terry is no longer with us, I feel an empty space, that I am sure that it can't be fill again, he has been a great man who has left a great memory in all the hearts of the people he met. it is impossible not to be sad, his absence hurts but his memory will always make us smile, it is impossible not to smile. We cannot fight against the designs of life, Terry?s passage through this world has not been like the traces that the sea erases on the contrary we will always remember him as a good friend and you as your soul mate and best father in the world. Terry was so proud of his three girls, he loved you to the last breath, Terry told many times that he was the happiest man for being married to wonderful woman, his soulmate and best friend. He told me stories about his daughters, Mallory did this the other day, Kennedy is doing great? there was always something about his girls. Terry was more than a friend to me; he was my brother!!! I know that after we say goodbye to Terry and all of our tears, only the good moments we shared with him will remain. "

"Terry and Kris were my youth leaders 17 years ago. My group/class always looked forward to Thursday nights and the lock-in they arranged for us at the church. We had so much fun that year! And through the eyes of a 17 year old, Terry, and Kris, we so young, hip and cool and a blast to spend every Thursday with! Terry will be a missed soul. "

"My condolences to the Wolhford family. Terry was such a fun person. There are just so many memories of Terry throughout the years. When I think of Terry, I see his white Firebird and all the miles we put on that car going to Waterloo. The memory that stands out the most after the Rocky IV movie Terry had a haircut like Drago. Looking back now, it?s funny how friends and movies impact our lives. Terry was such a kind person. We?ll miss you and all the funny stories you would tell. Bob Maiwald"
