Terry was born in Evansville, Indiana on January 3, 1954 to Loretta (Hartman) and Melburn Bosecker. After graduating from Reitz High School in Evansville, Terry attended Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, graduating with a B.S. in Chemistry and later in life Terry attained his MBA.
In 1978, Terry moved to Gillette, Wyoming to work in the coal industry. After 36 years, he retired as a general supervisor at Alpha Coal West.
Terry was an avid outdoorsman. He traveled extensively in South Africa, New Zealand and throughout North America hunting big game animals. He participated in trap shooting, in which he won numerous awards. He also enjoyed welding, fabricating and wood working. At the time of his death, he was building a shop to accommodate these hobbies. Terry was a longtime member of the United Methodist Church in Gillette, where he was active as an usher, volunteer and on the board of trustees.
He cherished time spent with his wife, Janet, working out at the gym, watching sports together, and being with treasured friends. They also enjoyed vacationing in Arizona to visit his daughter, Rachel, son-in-law, Ty, and twin granddaughters, Piper and Payton. So many wonderful memories shared. He was especially close to his brother, Larry, as life-long hunting buddies, and spoke to each other several times a week. He appreciated time spent with his three coffee groups, shooting the breeze and solving the world’s problems.
He is survived by his wife, Janet; daughter, Rachel (Ty) Phillips; his two granddaughters, Piper and Payton Phillips; his brother, Larry Bosecker; niece Laney Ford, and her daughter Maggie; nephew, Neil (Emily) Bosecker, and his son Tilden Bosecker. He is preceded in death by his parents, Loretta and Melburn Bosecker, along with his sister-in-law Brenda Bosecker.
Terry’s solution to every problem was... “This too shall pass”.
“Every 20-minute job is one broken bolt away from becoming a 3-day ordeal.”
