Terry Lee Robison was born Jan. 30, 1952 in South English the son of Roy and Helen (Clubb) Robison.

He was raised in the English Valley area and graduated from Keota high School. Terry farmed and raised draft horses most of his life and had lived in Keosauqua, Bloomfield, Marengo and South English.  He loved training and raising horses and farmed with a team.  On Dec.19, 1992 he was united in marriage to Judy Haus in Oskaloosa.  Terry retired from farming in 1998 and took a job with Kinze and later with Williamsburg Manufacturing. In 2001 Terry was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, but continued to work until 2007. Despite the effects of MS on his health Terry always strived to be as independent and helpful as he could.  Terry and Judy have spent their retirement years on their homestead west of Bussey, Iowa.

Terry loved horses and mainly raised Percherons. He enjoyed going to the Kalona draft horse sales where he would visit and laugh with old friends. He made numerous lifelong friends through the years.  Many kids fondly remember a horse drawn wagon ride with Terry.  In his spare time, Terry also enjoyed playing dominos, the You Might Be a Redneck game, cat-fishing, and visiting with family and friends. Terry made the most delicious homemade ice cream for birthdays and family picnics with the Fays.  Terry loved to laugh, his eyes would sparkle and he would laugh until tears ran down his face.
