William Edward Terlop

TERLOP Jr., William Edward “Bill”, 58, of Land O’Lakes, FL, passed away March 6, 2018 with his loved ones by his side. Bill was a native of the Tampa Bay area. He attended Most Holy Redeemer and Tampa Catholic High School where he graduated 1977. Music was a major part of Bill’s life. His love for music began at a very young age, and continued throughout his life. His desire to share his love of music led him to be a part of many bands throughout his music career. He further pursued his passion for music by opening A-Aardvark’s Music and Rental Center, where he met and developed many meaningful relationships with fellow musicians. Bill truly enjoyed where music took him: seeing new places, meeting new people, making new friends. Bill had a passion for adventure, happiness, and creativity; expressed both through his love of music and of all things Disney. Bill and his family were at the Magic Kingdom the first day it opened, and on that day it became his favorite place to create memories with loved ones. Through Bill, these sentiments of joy and magic have spread to his children, leaving a lasting impact. Bill is survived by his parents, Marie and William E. Terlop Sr.; two sons, William Terlop III, Eric Terlop; two daughters Lisa Terlop, and Sarah Terlop; brother, Thomas Terlop; sister, Susan Mullis; as well as many loving extended family members, loved ones, and friends.
