Terry was the eldest of the three children of Michael Sullivan Jr. and Velma McCoy Sullivan and spent his younger years in western Iowa and eastern Nebraska.
He served in the Army during the Korean War, during which time he married Eleanor, and in the succeeding years, the two of them raised three children of their own.
In 1961, Terry, El, and family relocated to SE Florida. While there, he spent many years working for the Sun Sentinel newspaper, another few years working for CBS radio, and ultimately became co-owner of Southern Costumers.
Terry enjoyed a good joke and was quick to laugh. He bandaged knees, decorated Christmas trees, face-painted his children for Halloween, took his family on road trips and to the beach, was an exceptional vocalist, and of very proud Irish stock.
