Odell "Terry" Waldron Jr., 81, passed away peacefully at his home in Burlington, NC on December 22, 2018 surrounded by his children.

Terry was a member of the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States Army. He served as a parachute rigger and had many interesting stories about his time at Fort Bragg. Terry was an avid golfer and loved to play softball, hunt, and fish. Only failing heath kept him from playing in the Shamrock Parent/Child golf tournament every year. He had many fond memories of playing at the "Rock", and it was there that he carded is first hole-in-one.

He retired from General Electric after over 25 years of loyal service where he met the love of his life. He then worked for SCI for 5 years. Millie and Terry celebrated a wonderful marriage for 58 years. They were inseparable and loved to spend time together traveling, fishing, and coming home to spend time with their grand babies and children. Their favorite places to go together were New Bern, NC and Massanutten, VA, and anywhere where the fishing was good. He was a member of Riverside Baptist Church.

Millie, the love of his life, passed away 4 months before he did. He left behind a legacy with his 3 children, Debbie Gossman, Rick Waldron (Sharon Waldron) and Linda Waldron Dale (Russell Dale). He has 6 grandchildren: Nick Gossman, Matthew Dale, Sydnie Dale, Jacob Dale, Noah Waldron, and Jordan Waldron.
