Newtown Square

Joseph G. Terry, 68, of Newtown Square, PA, passed away on October 4, 2024, after a courageous battle with a prolonged illness. He was the beloved son of the late Joseph F. and Gloria (née Nicosia) Terry.

Joe is survived by his devoted wife, Dr. Katherine Canakis-Terry; his son, Joseph Christopher Terry (Katherine); his daughter, Alyssa Marie Terry; and his cherished grandson, Joseph James Terry.

A dedicated husband, father, and grandfather, Joe took over the family business and enjoyed a distinguished career spanning over 50 years in the insurance industry. His unwavering commitment to excellence built a legacy of integrity and professionalism that set a standard for all.
