Weyerhaeuser was sold to International Paper Co in 2008 and Terry retired in 2013.Terry was easy to talk to and get to know. Everyone thought he was the "nicest guy". Family was so important to Terry. He was truly devoted to his wife and 2 children and he supported his extended family (siblings, nieces & nephews) any way he could. Terry enjoyed collecting glass fishing floats from the Pacific Rim and was an avid Duck fan. He teased that even though he attended the U of W, he was a true Duck. Terry loved to travel, whether it be to the coast, Sunriver, Hawaii, Alaska or to many locations in Europe. In June, he & Debra completed a "Grand Tour of Europe" ~ truly a trip of a lifetime. Terry is survived by his wife of 33 years, Debra, his son Byron and daughter Sara, both of Eugene and 3 siblings: Rob of Oakville, WA, Brian of Tumwater, WA and Laurie Dennis of Silver Creek, WA.
