Around the time of learning of his sister Tammy's sudden death June 2024, Terry was diagnosed with cancer. He has been valiantly persevering through his cancer treatments. He is looking forward to putting this stage of his life behind him as he prepares to have surgery sometime this month or next.

Terry is a gifted healer and reliever of pain through the use of his massage practice. He has continued his practice of helping others through their discomforts while he suffers the rigors of cancer treatment. He loves his four dogs, his friends and family, and his partner Jim. He misses his sister Tammy and now will also miss his mother Linda who has recently passed.
