Terry attended Tech High School in St. Cloud and graduated in 1965. He enlisted in the Marines in 1966 and trained at Camp Pendelton, California. He was sent to Vietnam and served in the 5th Marine Division as a Motor Vehicle operator for two years from 1966-1968. He then returned home and served in the reserves.

Terry was a natural born salesman and had the “gift of gab”. He worked in a variety of sales jobs and in later years drove school bus. Terry’s favorite activity was camping during the summer with his wife Jann and the dogs. Terry was also the proud owner of a “Cuda” which he restored with the help of a good friend.

Terry is survived by his son Troy Schmidt and his wife Cindy; grandchildren, Christopher, Luke, and Brianna Schmidt; his wife Jann (Graue) Schmidt, and; his sisters Twyla Ethen, April Tidd, and Annette Stang.
