Terrance L. came into this world April 29, 1953 born to James and Lillian (Barta) Gulka. He grew up in New Hradec and relocated to Dickinson later in life to open Four Season Sports with his father, Jim and brother, James. With Jim he was the owner-operator for many years and soon took over the family business for the next 40 years. During this time he met the love of his life Donna Delaney, and they married July 6, 1974 spending 42 blessed years with his best friend and partner. In 1984, they completed their family by adopting a bouncing baby boy, Enrique Gulka.
Terry enjoyed the adventure of being outdoors, playing with all his “big boy toys” with his family and group of close friends. You could usually find Terry riding motorcycles, boating, camping, fishing in a new boat, riding sleds in The Black Hills and Cook City or relaxing at home with an open door and cold one for just about anyone.
Terry is survived by his wife, Donna, Dickinson; son, Enrique, Las Vegas, Nev.; brother Jim (Janice) Gulka, Tucson, Ariz.; sister Deb Anderson, Dickinson; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents and three sisters, Sue Hecker, Linda Gould and Joann Bonomo.
