Terrence was born August 2, 1946 in Canby, MN, to Raymond and Irene (Lanners) Swedzinski, one of 4 children. He graduated from Minneota High School in 1964 and then received a Bachelors Degree in accounting at Mankato State University in Mankato, MN. He held various financial positions over the years including owning Best Rate Mortgage in St. Louis Park.

Even though T Lee fought numerous health issues over the years he brought joy and good spirits with a heart of gold to everyone he met in the Minnesota area and beyond. A strong conservative, his Christian beliefs were the bedrock to who he was. Best known for this strong opinions and cantankerous disposition at times, he never hesitated to give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He will be greatly missed and we will go on knowing his beloved savior Jesus needed a top salesman to close some deals. He will have his mansion he always wanted, an avid fisherman, hunter and deal maker, his true joy was pheasant hunting with his Brittany dogs, Luke and Pete. A crack shot even with one eye, he never forgot a face or name and could always provide a personal or business connection when you needed one.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Survivors include his sisters, Karen Rae Swedzinski of Taunton, MN, Nancy (Charles) Veilleux of Roseville, CA, Sandy Lawrence of Palm Desert, CA.
