He met Dian York and a forever love was born. They were married on June 3, 1967 at Woodward, OK. They were blessed with a son, Terry Hysell, Jr. and wife Leigh Ann; a daughter, Lona Hysell Lucero and husband Tony; and a son Jody Hysell and wife Mindy; He gave his children a precious gift, his time. He and Lona were a cooking duo, and tended a vegetable garden together. He never missed Terry or Jody's football games, and enjoyed taking them fishing again and again. The blessings never ceased, nine grandchildren, in order of age: Tyson Haworth and wife Kathleen, Terra Hysell Hankins and husband Jack, Tiffany Haworth Estrada and husband Rob, Nicole Hysell, Kolby Hysell and fiance Alex Palacios, Ashlyn Lucero, Sydney Hysell, Chase Hysell and KaLee Hysell, whom has the same birthday as her grandpa; one great-grandaughter, Hayden Paige Estrada;

He was preceded in death by his dad, Johnnie Gose; mother Opal Pinkerton Hysell; grandparents John Gose, Sara Jane Gose, Ralph and Emma Pinkerton; He was a deeply rooted man that loved his family as his family loved him.
