It is with heavy heart that I learned of Terrys’ passing. A good man and a good friend will be missed by all he touched in his life. I will especially miss our annual spring gobbler times together with his dear friends Dave and Don.

Randy Hoffman: Terry and I grew up together and were like brothers. We went different paths after high school but still got together to play poker once in awhile. Terry was a kind and gentle person that would give his shirt off his back if you needed it. RIP
Many memories of Mercer races and playing cards with Terry prayers for all the families lose at this time May Jesus comfort all of you
My sympathies to Elaine and family. Terry and I had many great talks during his eye exams over many years.
My deepest sympathies to Terry’s family. I knew Terry for several years and saw him as a kind, generous man. He truly loved his deer and turkey hunting with friends. And let’s not forget his love for race cars. In his final weeks he was well cared for by the gentle but capable hands of his loving sister, Elaine. Godspeed.
