Terry "TJ"'s favorite foods

Terry was without a doubt, a picky eater., but in the most endearing way. he liked to say he'd try anything once, and he really did give new foods a change. But no matter how adventurous he tried to be, he always circled back to the basics, his good old American favorites: hamburgers and hot dogs. we tried taking him out for sushi more than once, but let's just say raw fish and strange textures were not his thing. That was Terry, simple tastes, honest reactions, and always true to himself.

Favorite bands and musical artists

The songs he listened to weren't just background noise, they told a store of his life. You could tell how he was felling by what was playing. If he was angry, the lyrics got a little louder..lol and maybe a bit explicit. Hahaha. But when he was in a good mood, the whole house felt it, he'd crank up the music, fill the space with good vibes, and sing along like he was performing on stage. Music helped Terry through the ups and downs of life. It was his therapy, his escae, and his joy. it helped him cope, helped him heal, and helped him connect with himself and with everyone around him.
