Terry Jack Greely, Sr., 78, of Northumberland, PA, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family, on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, PA. He was born on August 17, 1946, in Danville, PA; the son of the late John “Bud” and Gladys (Clark) Greely.

Terry graduated from Danville Area High School in 1964 and then served his country with honor in the United States Navy.

Terry was employed with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and retired as a Lieutenant. During retirement he worked various jobs, but his most recent was security for Weis Markets.

Terry's favorite times were spent with his Granddaughter Sophie, whether it was watching her play softball, going to the Lewisburg Farmers market or going on one of their many "road trips." Terry enjoyed watching sports and attending car shows with his son, Joe. He also enjoyed watching pro football games and old westerns in the comfort of his living room with his wife LuAnn, their beloved dog Tilly and their cats. Terry was an avid Penn State football fan and loved to tailgate.

Throughout his life, Terry showed the values of love, empathy, and sincerity. Terry's impact on others was immeasurable.

In addition to his wife, Terry is survived by two sons; Terry “Joe” Jack Greely, Jr. and his wife Nikki of Danville, PA and their daughter, Sophia Greely; and Bradley Greely and his wife Tracy of Cumberland, MD and their son Travis and daughter Hanna of Cumberland, MD.

    I am so sorry to hear of Terry's passing. We were great friends and working together at Otisville was truly a pleasure. I was talking to Cheryl last night and asked her if she still had the letter he wrote to years ago. The letter described how he had taught John Travolta to dance. She said that it was a "keepsake" and had stored it away. Unfortunately her basement flooded about a year and a half ago, and the letter was destroyed. We were both smiling, remembering his sense of humor and the friendship we had. My thoughts and prayers are with you LuAnn and the entire family. Take care and be safe, to you all.
