My sympathy to the entire family. Terry was a joy to work with. He lived life with much energy, passion and laughter. I will never forget meeting him before dawn to go on my first fishing trip. Terry was very giving of everything he had. I'm proud to say that his characteristics and zest for life will be passed through my family and for this I'm very grateful. Terry will be missed tremendously -- fortunately the memories will remain.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
