Terry L. Anderson

Terry L. Anderson, 80, of Paducah, passed away on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at Gaither Suites in Paducah, Kentucky. He was born on March 16, 1946, in Watertown, South Dakota, to the late Guy Irvin and Hazel Bernice Banick Anderson.

Terry was a man who built his life with determination and pride. He was the former owner and operator of Pizza By The Pound, where his dedication and strong work ethic were evident in the way he served his community and carried himself in business. He was a retired engineer from EMI-Processing, where he was respected for his skill, reliability, and commitment to doing the job well. Throughout his career, Terry earned the admiration of those who worked alongside him and those who knew him best.

Beyond his work, Terry found great happiness in the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed spending time with those he was on the course with.  He was known as a Ballard County goose hunting guide, a role that reflected both his knowledge of the outdoors and his enjoyment in sharing that experience with others. Whether he was in the field, on the water, or simply enjoying the fresh air, Terry felt most at home when surrounded by the natural world he loved so much.

Terry also had a lifelong appreciation for antique cars, and he took great pride in the vehicles he admired and owned. Among them, the 57 Chevy held a special place in his heart as his favorite. He also loved his 78 Ford Bronco, a vehicle that reflected his practical nature and his fondness for dependable, classic machines.
