Obituary of Terry C. Hallett

Honeoye Falls – Terry C. Hallett, 72 years of age, passed away early Sunday morning, September 7, 2025 at Hildebrandt Hospice Care Center in Rochester. Terry was born January 17, 1953 in Hornell the son of Edward and Joyce (Drake) Hallett. Terry graduated from East High School in Rochester and moved to Honeoye in 1972. He remained there until his move to Honeoye Falls in 2003 where he has lived ever since. Terry worked for 47 years as a lineman for RG&E retiring in 2017. Terry had a love for race cars and classic cars. He built them, worked on them and raced them. Anything that needed to be done with them he would do. Terry and his son, Brian had a race team and was considered the owner, crew chief and financier. They had a lot of fun with the race team and “hitting his son with the hood prop” was often laughed about. Terry’s love for classic cars brought him to The Syracuse Nationals show and the Carlisle trade show just about every year. Terry also enjoyed boating, especially the trips on Lake Ontario and the islands up north to Alex Bay. Terry was pre-deceased by his parents, Edward and Joyce Hallett; and a sister Brenda Stotts. He is survived by his loving companion Karen Adams of Honeoye Falls; his sons, Terry (Marlene) Hallett of Canadice and Brian Hallett (Hannah Pierce) of Avon; his grandchildren, Jesse (Ellie) Hallett, James Hallett, Nicholas Hallett all of Canadice, Brynlee Hallett of Avon, Gavin Pawlak of Irondequoit; William Medina of Penfield: his blended family with Karen, Lianne and Kristen Adams; his brother Edward “Eddie” Hallett of Henrietta; and his nephew George Stotts of Livonia. Terry’s family will have a celebration of life on a later date.
