He leaves behind his wife, Sandy; son, Mike Baum; stepsons, Brian (Brandy) Harpster and Craig (Andrea) Harpster; stepdaughter, Corrine (Brent) Harpster; and 10 grandchildren.
Terry was a decorated Army Ranger veteran, ranked as a sergeant. He served many years as the commander of American Legion Post 5 in Rehoboth Beach. He was a 25-year employee and a dear friend of Harry Caswell Inc., a plumbing company in Long Neck. Terry loved his family and his dog, Toby, very much. He loved going camping, riding his Harley-Davidson with his wife, and he absolutely loved cooking for family and friends. He loved taking his wife, children and grandchildren on weekend camping trips. Terry had a huge heart, a memorable laugh, and a truly contagious smile. He will be sorely missed by everyone who loved him.
The family will be hosting a celebration of life at a later date.
