Terry
loved life, loved to fish, hunt and was an avid sports fan. He took part in
many leagues such as pool, horseshoes, softball, golf and loved to go out and
shoot guns with friends. For other pastimes, Terry enjoyed crossword puzzles
and Sudoku. He was a loving, devoted friend, uncle, brother and father figure
to many. His smile, laughter, wit, and brutal honesty is what made his soul
beautiful. There was not an animal he didn't love or a child he couldn't make
smile. He will be missed by many.
Terry
is survived by his three sisters, Jackie Stromberg, Barb Herda, Bonnie (Lee)
Labarre, one brother Bruce (Pat) Burckhard, sister-in-law Marilyn Burckhard and
11 nieces and nephews, Andrea Stromberg, Zac Stromberg, Heather Leith, Matt

Kristi Ziegler, Kevin Burckhard.
He is preceded in death by his parents, brother John
Burckhard and brother-in-law Tom Herda.
