A native of Sylva, North Carolina, Bob Terrell lived all his life in Western North Carolina. After attending Western Carolina University, he joined the staff of the Asheville Citizen-Times as a sports reporter. For more than fifty years, readers enjoyed Bob Terrell’s daily columns chronicling the fun and foibles of his family, friends, and neighbors. His many humorous columns comprise several of his most popular books, including Fun Is Where You Find It! and A Touch of Terrell.
After retiring from writing daily columns, Terrell dedicated more time to writing books and traveling, especially to the Mideastern United States and Israel.
Bob Terrell died in May of 2009, shortly after seeing the publication of John Henry Moss: Baseball’s Miracle Man, a biography of the baseball legend who founded minor league baseball’s South Atlantic League and served as its president for fifty years.
