Donald passed away in Indianapolis, IN on May 1st. He was the son of Margaret E. (Morris) & William F. Terry, born in West Lafayette, IN on Oct. 9, 1934. Don was raised by Frank and Opal Terry.
After high school he went to work at Alcoa Aluminum Co. In 1958 he started work at Taystee Bread Co., before becoming a delivery man for Wonder Bread Co., retiring in 1995. On Dec. 2, 1955 he married Shirley Joan Muston at Hope Chapel Presbyterian Church. They have two daughters, Kimberly and Karen.
Don was an avid fisherman, golfer, bowler and outdoorsman. He knew the Wabash River like the back of his hand. Don loved family time with his children, grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. He had many long-time friends and neighbors, and if you were a friend of his, you were a friend for life. He was a teller of tall tales — some of them true.
He is survived by his wife, Shirley; daughters, Kim Terry (partner Marcia) from Encino, CA; Karen (husband Thom Timmons) of Monticello, Grandsons; Jake and Andy Timmons. Three sisters, Helen Merrell of Lafayette, Lou Ann Cummings of Howe, IN and Eleanor (Tessie) Carter of Lemont, IL. Twenty-five Terry family nieces and nephews and one cousin, Robert Morris (wife Anita) of Carmel, IN. Brother-in law; Chuck Muston (wife Miyong) of Dayton, OH. Preceded in death by his parents and three brothers; Bob, Bill, and, Chuck.
