Lewis Clifton Terry Sr. (affectionately known as Louie and Terry), 70, of Neptune, NJ, passed away on March 31, 2017.  He was born on October 20, 1946 in Neptune, NJ to George and Margaret Peco Terry.

Louie attended the Neptune Township school system and Job Corps in Ohio, where he received a degree as a Black Seal Boiler Operator. He worked for the New Jersey State Parkway Department and the City of Asbury Park, NJ.

He was employed with Sonetronics, West Belmar, NJ as a supervisor, and retired at the age of 70.  Louie was an avid history, political and science reader. He loved to dance, sing, draw and listen to Motown music. He enjoyed collecting baseball cards and DVD's of old movie classics. His favorite sport teams were the Jets and Mets. Louie had a great sense of humor and he loved to laugh and tell funny stories. We will truly miss him.
