Eddie had a few different jobs over the years but his favorite one was "head of the kitchen" on an oil well drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Eddie was a wonderful musician who played guitar, wrote many songs and loved to sing. His voice and talents were truly a blessing from God! Eddie was a true believer in Jesus Christ, as is his whole family. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and loved to camp out under the stars. He loved sports, especially boxing and football. As sick as he was, he stayed up to watch his team (N.Y.) win. Eddie was a loving father and grandpa. He was preceded in death by two daughters, April Lorraine Phillips Terry and Sonya Terry; brother, Lincoln Amber Lin Terry. Eddie is survived by Dawn Cochran (Paddock) of Plainwell, with whom he shared five children, Andrew M. Paddock of Plainwell, Melissa June Moskalik of Allegan, Amber L! in Gillette of Allegan, Rachel Marie Phillips of Parchment and Renea Terry of Alabama; 13 grandchildren; siblings, Connie Uithoven of Parchment and Wayne Terry of Kalamazoo.
