    There are no words I can say or express that will convey how much I loved and will miss my Uncle Terry…
    I just really wish I would have been able to spend more time with over the years and had more time to spend with him in the years to come..
    Unfortunately, when someone is taken from us so early in their wonderful life, this can never be.
    However, I hope that our family and friends will always remember all of the laughs, joys, jokes, and straight to the point with no BS talks we all had with Terry….
    All my love Terry!!!!
    You will be greatly missed here, but we will all see you again soon!!!!
    Love Your Nephew

    Terry & I live on the same road & would meet and visit often. Some days we would agree on topics and disagree on others. The one thing strong with him was family, friends and neighbors. Even though we did not see eye to eye on all issues I always looked forward to our next visit. I will miss him greatly. Cliff Sorum
