June 2, 1948 – August 29, 2026
Gregory Alan Terry, 78, of Bowling Green, KY, formerly of Bedford and Shoals, passed away Saturday, August 29, 2026, at his residence.
Greg was born June 2, 1948, in Indianapolis, IN, to the late Laverne Terry and the late Ruby (King) Terry. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Cindy Terry; one son, Brent (Kelly) Terry; one daughter, Ashley Terry Willard; two granddaughters, Cassie Ratliff and Nicole Terry; one great-grandson, Emerson Busch; and two sisters, Auna Drake and Eva Cundiff. He is also survived by his two best friends, Beau and Bella, the puppies.
Greg graduated from Northwood Institute with a bachelor’s degree in business and marketing in 1971. After graduation, he worked for his dad at Terry Ford Town in Shoals for over 13 years as a salesman before taking over the family business.
Greg decided to sell the business and start working at NSWC Crane as a civilian for the Navy once his father’s health declined. He was a Logistics Management Specialist for over 33 years.
Greg was a member of the United Methodist Church and was an active Freemason since 1971. He was a 32nd degree mason with the Shoals Masonic Lodge F&AM.
Greg was naturally an avid car lover since being around them growing up in the car business. His utmost favorite was a Corvette. His love for Corvettes ultimately brought him to move to Bowling Green, KY, to work part-time for the Corvette Museum as a tour guide and in admissions. He worked there for five years before officially retiring.
He was also an avid boater and loved spending time on the water in years past. Greg’s wishes were to be cremated. A private graveside service at Spring Hill Cemetery in Shoals, IN, will take place at a later date.

The family has entrusted J.C. Kirby & Son Lovers Lane Chapel with arrangements in Bowling Green, KY, and the staff of Ferguson-Lee Chapel of Thorne Family Funeral Homes is honored to have been chosen for arrangements in Bedford, IN.
