Terrance Charles Farrelly

Terrance was 66 years old and is survived by his wife Pat, his two sons Christopher and Richard and their wives Ludovica and Pam, his grandchildren Ava and Owen, and his siblings John, Dennis, Cathie and Patrick and their spouses Donna, Jackie, & Rich. Terrance is predeceased by his parents Marge and John or “Gram and Pop”.

Terrance was born in The Bronx, NY on June 29, 1955. Terrance graduated Columbus High School in 1973 and then followed his spirit on many adventures of travel and work that found him travelling to more areas of the US than can be listed in this brief memorial tribute to him. To say Terrance was mischievous in his younger days is an understatement. Terrance experimented with all that life had to offer and had the stories to prove it. All his facts were credible no matter how tall the tale! His memory was always on point. He wrapped up his travels which we affectionately refer to his time on the USS Enterprise, and settled down when he met Patricia, his true love. Pat was the one to give Terrance a reason to settle down and become a family man when they married in May 1994. For most of his married life, Terrance was a “milk man.” He loved being behind the wheel of his truck and that allowed him to “travel” every day and continue to gather some of the funniest stories one can assemble.

Terrance had a heart bigger than his physical size and it was made of gold!

As an uncle, Terrance was many unique things including babysitter, bodyguard, confidant, school pick up, homework czar, personal chef, etc. Terrance’s most critically acclaimed skill with his nieces and nephews was his ability to identify BS immediately and always say “don’t tell me, I did that too!” They each had a special relationship with him and miss him dearly.

Beside family, Terrance loved his animals, hot tub, & BBQ. Animals were #1! The phrase “animal whisperer” is overused, however in Terrance’s case it must be included. He never had to buy a pet. Most walked in or followed him home. Either way, when Terrance walked in and called to Pat, “Honey, I’m home,” she had to check what was following him in the door.

Terrance stayed faithfully connected with many of his Edgewater friends throughout these years and we know they are mourning his loss with his family.
