After retirement, Terry enjoyed helping and working for other local farmers. Terry loved everything about farming, but most of all loved his two daughters, Jill and Kristin. He loved talking about his girls and their families and was especially proud to be a grandpa!

Terry loved to laugh and visit and enjoyed hearing stories of anyone who wanted to talk. Terry was a member of the St. Aloysius Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus in Osborne.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Marie Henke.

Terry will be missed by his two daughters, Jill (Justin) Grohs, Lawton, ND and Kristin (Duke) Williams, Germantown, TN; grandchildren, Bennett Grohs, Jackson Williams, and Hayden Williams.
