BROOKFIELD - Terry Lee Bowles, 54, of Brookfield, went home to be with the Lord, surrounded by his family, on Nov. 15, 2012, at Trumbull Memorial Hospital.
He was born May 28, 1958, in Cleveland, a son of Franklin and Betty Kyler Woodside of Sharon, Pa.
Terry was best described as being a true family man. He would go to any length to put his family first, and took pride in helping to teach his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren many life lessons that will be carried on for years to come. He was an amazing storyteller and jokester, always keeping those closest to him entertained. He was a history buff, and could be found giving a random bit of information to his family off the top of his head.
