I could go on and on for days about the good times we had together. I sure did miss the big guy when he and Anita moved out west. He loved it out there but he still always asked about everybody back here.Terry was a guy you did not want to get mad. I seen him in action and he could do a number on a guy right now! But in his heart he was a big ole TEDDY bear.
When Vickie and I rode out west to see him and Anita, he cried like a little kid when we got there.
Terry had a heart as big as they come!
His memory will be with me forever.
