Final Salute

Life has to end. Love doesn’t. —MITCH ALBOM

John Terry has left this world to join a new one, free of Parkinson’s disease.

Born in Dublin, Ireland to Rose and Shawn Terry, he and brother Jim immigrated on Christmas Day, 1955. A few years later his sister, Anne was born.

John attended Reavis high school, Roosevelt University and was a US Navy Seabee.

Thanks to his cousin, Margaret McDowell, he met his wife, Deborah (Aldrich) and they married in 1978.

Proud father of Kevin (Laura) and Brian (Erin) he cherished his time with his grandchildren, Audrey, Patrick, Rowan and Finnegan John.

Loving brother to Jim (Linda) and Anne Cutler (Jim) and brother in law to Janet Micheletto and the late, Leo.

Special Uncle to Sean, Diana, Andrew, Ryan and Jamie. And loving God son of Julia McIntosh.

For those moved to honor John’s legacy, donations to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Memorial Fund to further his commitment to a world free of MS.
