People who met Terry often left him saying “he was one of the nicest persons I have ever met.” Some of his favorite activities were being a little league coach, Alabama football - Roll Tide!, looking at Chevy trucks and old cars, and eating “great big” strawberry ice cream waffle cones while riding in the car with the windows rolled down, listening to loud rock ‘n roll music with his wife driving and free drifting through the curves on the back roads of Paulding County. Terry is survived by his wife, Dianne, their son Berry (Stephanie), “adopted son” Raven Martin, his brother Phillip Barfield, sister-in-law Mrs. Terry Lynn Barfield, nephews Jonathan and Stephen Barfield.
