Terry Neale

Terry Neale
June 26, 1946 – January 29, 2022

Terry Lee Neale, 75, of Westminster, SC, passed away at Rainey Hospice House on January 29, 2022 due to post-surgical complications following a diagnosis of cancer.

Terry was the only son of the late Rae Jean Neale and the late John Howard Neale. He was preceded in death by his infant daughter, Bailey Marie Neale.

He is survived by his wife, Julie Neale, his daughter, Stefanie Neale (Nathan Lawson), daughter Marina Osborn (Peter Osborn), his son Logan Neale, and his five grandchildren: Bret, Brody, Tessa, Zack, and Savannah.

Terry was a proud Air Force Veteran and spent most of his career as an airline pilot with People Express and Continental Airlines. He was a devout member of Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Church as well as a member of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) where he assisted fellow veterans. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing on Lake Hartwell and spending time with his family. He found peace and comfort in nature and loved all animals.

Terry was kind and compassionate to all he met, and he was always willing to lend a hand to those in need and held a truly optimistic perspective on life.

The family will host a service at Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Seneca, South Carolina on Friday, February 25th, 2022 at 11:00 AM followed by a burial at Dolly Cooper Veterans Cemetery in Anderson, South Carolina at 3:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials may be made to Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Church or your local Veterans Services.

Thank you for posting this, Vince.  Terry attended Hialeah in his sophomore and junior years, but moved away after his junior year.  He would have graduated in '64.  Tim and I remained friends with him and were saddened by his passing.  He was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks after Thanksgiving and was given 2 months.  He served in the Air Force during the Viet Nam war and was involved in numerous bombing raids, including one in Cambodia.  Years later he suffered from PTSD and once recovered decided to help other Veterans with similar experiences.  I'm sure there are others who remember him and what a great guy he was.
