Terry Arthur Greenside

Terry Greenside was born in Cass Lake, Minnesota on February 21, 1946 to Leonard and Kay (Kathryn Horton) Greenside. He was raised on their family farm doing numerous chores and sometimes getting into mischief. He worked at several different jobs throughout his teen years.

Terry met his future wife Margaret (Peggy) Campbell at Cass Lake High School in 1961 where his mischief started to blossom into humor and great one- liners. He graduated from CLHS in 1964.

In 1966 Terry married his high school sweetheart Peggy. They moved to Deer River that year and remained in the area, raising their family.

Terry worked as a Zoning and Solid Waste Officer for Itasca County and retired in 2003. He served on the Deer River School Board and the Deer Reer Township Board.

Terry was a proud husband and father and his favorite role was as Grandpa. He loved working in his garage making knives or woodworking. He loved his annual fishing trip with the guys. Terry also loved taking his family on vacations, making as many memories as possible.

The eleven grandchildren are: Alexis, Adam Jr., Cameron, Autumn, Aiden, Taylor, Bree, Jacob, Tucker, Mason and Matthew. The three great grandchildren: Narya, Renly and Rowan.
