Terry also sat on the board of the Better Business Bureau for 20 years. He wanted to say in his own words, "He was in the business of drinking and chasing women." He was larger than life he enjoyed every moment of his 67 years. He was a good friend to all and loved by many. He supported the American Cancer Society and worked with the Boys and Girls Club of Southern Nevada and he also was generous and donated to many causes when asked. Terry himself wanted to thank his close friend, of 45 years, Norm Jenkins, for the many years of friendship, advice and support. He wanted to mention the Bell family of Las Vegas, to this day he has missed his friend, Jim Bell, and looked forward to reuniting with him in Heaven.
