April 20, 1938 – August 7, 2022
Terrence Randall Wipff, known to family and friends as Terry, passed peacefully at home on August 7, 2022. Born on April 20, 1938, in Quincy, Illinois, Terry graduated from Del Rio High School, and served in the United States Navy from 1958 through 1962 on the Aircraft Carrier Lexington. He then moved to Houston and was employed with Amoco Refinery in Texas City for 28 years.
Terry is survived by his wife Sherry, son Robert, daughter-in-law Adrienne, granddaughter Samantha, sister Joan Glasgow (Don), brother Stephen, and sister Sarabeth Juarez (Joe). His stepchildren Mark Smith (Linda), Julie Downy (Terry), Matthew Smith (Monica) and their children Scott, Sam, Katya, Madison, Ella, and Mateo. They were all so fond of Grandpa Terry, and he of them. His best buddy, Parker, always sat by his side.
Terry loved classic Mustang cars resulting in rebuilding, repairing, trading, and competing in auto shows. He also enjoyed golf and watching sports.
Memorial services will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made in Terry’s memory to Friendswood United Methodist Church, 110 N. Friendswood Dr., Friendswood, Texas 77546.

We wish you comfort and peace to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart.
Thank you. Memorial services will be held September 16th at 10:00 a.m. at Friendswood United Methodist Church.
Sherry, I immediately missed your sweet Terry. He was such a peaceful presence to be around, and quiet unless we misbehaved. I admired that about him. My birthday twin leaves a big hole in our hearts, and I pray you will lean into all the sweet memories you made together, and find comfort in the love you had for each other.
Dear Sherry,
I am so sorry that Your Terry passed away…being that I don't have media footprint, and that I just happened to have read this obit…I offer my sincere condolences.
I'll be sure to let some of his previous dance buds about his passing.
Memories with Terry go back to our days @ Amoco, and of course the dancing scene.
