     This memorial website was created to remember James Eugene Terry, Jr. who was born in Peoria, Illinois on June 27, 1951 and passed away on April 12, 2008. He will live forever in our memories and hearts.

     James Eugene Terry, Jr., 56, of Peoria, passed away at 4:49 a.m. on Saturday, April 12, 2008 at Proctor Hospital in Peoria.

     James was born on June 27, 1951 in Peoria, a son of James Eugene and Imagene (Vaughn) Terry, Sr. He married Evelyn VanDyke on June 2, 2004 in Peoria. She survives.

I'm sharing a memory that I can remember. I can remember on a Sunday afternoon, Jim always used to watch NASCAR and his guy, Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s #88 car. He used to yell and holler to have Jr. win. When I used to root for my guy, Kyle Busch's #18 car, he used to be funny and talk about how when my guy's car would get into a wreck he would shoot M&M's out at everyone on the track and that's why my guy would wreck, I guess. it used to make me laugh for hours, when he used to say that. He was funny and I loved that in my stepdad.
