He was born October 5, 1939 in Jacksonville, Illinois the son of Wilmer Glen and Pauline Amelia Rice Steinberg.  He married Carol Behymer on October 11, 1959 in the Hersman Presbyterian Church in Hersman, Illinois and she survives.

Mr. Steinberg served as an engineer for the Illinois Department of Transportation for over 34 years retiring in 1991.  Terry graduated from Meredosia High School with the class of 1957.  He then attended the University of Illinois in Champaign.  Terry had the ability to do just about anything he set his mind to, including completely building a home for his family near Meredosia, where they resided for over 20 years.  He had served as the Burgoo Meister in Meredosia for several years and was also the president of the Meredosia Athletic Booster Club.  Terry enjoyed volunteering with the Meredosia Food Pantry and he always loved traveling and camping, especially out west.   One of his many attributes was that he never complained about anything even through his many health issues.  Terry truly loved his family and especially enjoyed the time spent with his granddaughters.
