It’s still a shock to me that you’re no longer just a phone call away. It’s hard to believe it’s been 7 years. I know you’re still here in spirit. I miss/love you!

I just went through all the pictures, couldn't make out some of them through the tears. Even though as adults, we didn't see each other often, knowing I COULD see you was a comfort. So hard to believe you've been gone seven years. I miss you so much. And will love you forever.

I can't count the times I've thought I would just call you and see what's going on and then reality sets in. I can't believe it's been 15 months since you went to be with Granny. I think you would really like the way the 88 turned out. Thank you. I miss you!

Terry was always such a character. He was able to find the humor in everything. I know he treated George well and depended on her. They had fun together and were able to celebrate their marriage in spite of everything going on. Terry deserved everything good in life and he will be missed by so many. RIP Tater Salad.

Tim,
I really enjoyed reading your commentaries on Terry. I can't fathom that he is gone. I can't believe how much you and he look alike, when you never did as kids. I have so many memories:the red and white chevy in our driveway at midnight, the pigeons in the shed, Terry's electronic shop, riding with oea (owens estell and atchison) in the red (pink) 55 chevy pickup. To name just a few. He is one of my anchors to my past. I cant believe he is gone. Thank you for getting us together a few years ago. It was as if we had never lost touch. He was so happy with his new life. By the way, I bought Clarice off of Terry and she was my Judas lamb for years. I never had to chase sheep again after her!
Rick

Terry was one of a kind and cannot be forgotten.
His sense of humor lightened the load for those around him.
He loved many and will be missed by more who didn't get to know him for he left us too soon.
I wonder if he glanced over his shoulder at the Pearly Gates to find that last slot machine before entering heaven.....till we meet again....

I’m truly humbled and honored to have had Terry as a friend and co-worker. You always knew when Terry had stumbled across a new comedian, he couldn’t wait to share his new found humor with those around him, most of the time he could recite the whole routine. The circle of friends would laugh and “By-God” each other until we were all laughing like school boys. It doesn’t take long to see the influence and love for a good laugh that Terry shared with us close enough to call friends. Until we meet again my friend “Via Con Dios.” Steve

I am so thankful for all the times we had together at work and off work. No matter how bad it was, it was a good time when you came to work! I will remember that grin and your "sayings" forever. No one but you could take something stupid and make it hilarious! You were a true friend and I'll miss you forever. Bryan

Happy Birthday

To honor you on your birthday I planned on taking champy out for a fly but wind didn’t cooperate. Didn’t want it to end up on the roof like that day we were at the school! We had a few RC planes behind Terry and George’s house at the school field. He was leaning to fly. For some reason I had to leave for a few minutes and he decided he would fly champy. When I got back, my son Brad was on a neighbors roof trying to get champy back! Brad had went and gotten a ladder and Terry told him to hurry up and get it down before I got back lol. I was mad at him for telling Brad to get on a neighbors roof without asking and Brad had on flip flops! I chewed both there butts out lol! Oh how wish I could relive some of those moments! Miss you buddy.

Biopsy results are back. I have small cell carcinoma, and aggressive cancer which you don't wnat to wait around on. Neuroligist stated outlook was "grim" but treatable with radiation and chemo therapy. Have referral sent to Oncologist waiting on appointment time and date. If no news by Wednesday, I'll turn up the fire another notch. Something that UPS taught me well!! Feeling good, a bit tired as always.If you don't hear from me for a few days,, you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and thanks again for being there for me. I love you both!!
12/22/2015 - 10:27am
Thanks Terry for letting Cheryl and I know. We had hoped and prayed for it to be a mild form, unagressive cancer but that's not Gods idea for you. I've spent a good portion of my adult life around you and have always been inspired by your can do attitude. To quote you "if you tell me a rooster can pull a freight train I'll stick a hook in his ass".... I wish you the same strenght and God's peace as you tackle this obstacle. I love you Terry and will be praying for your victory.

Just a text between friends that I've kept and will keep forever. Terry, you have no idea how much you've meant to me. We've laughed, we've cussed, we've shared each others pains that only working 16 hours a day together can understand, we've kept each other from going off the tracks, we endured..... above all we had each other when it mattered the most....... I love you and miss you... Steve
