Terry was raised in Robersonville, NC, where he attended school and began to work at a young age on the tobacco field to help his family. After moving to Virginia, he obtained his first job at the Newport News Waterworks, then later at the Newport News Dry Dock & Company in 1966.  He worked in the X36 Cleanup Department, which later converted to X36 Riggers Department, until he retired with Forty years of service.  Terry stated that "after I retire, I am going to sit on my front porch with my legs crossed and take me a Nip."  Terry claimed the Lord Jesus as His savior.  He loved playing his guitar and harmonica.  He would often keep extra harmonicas in his front left shirt pocket.  He would give them to all the children and adults that would play in his band.  He liked listening to his music, dancing, especially the "Robot".
