Karen and kids, our thoughts are with you all. Many memories of Terry “coaching” the softball girls from the stands or behind the plate. He was always willing to lend a helping hand at the fields!

Uncle Terry will be missed by all who knew and loved him. He was a big lovable teddy bear, who as a child I remember him always picking on me making me laugh. As an adult I came to admirer the big heart and kindness he had, even with his own challenges in life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Karen and his children during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

Aunt Karen, I always knew if we invited Uncle Terry to an event he would be there for us. He made it to all my happy occasions, and I’m so glad to have seen him in June. I know he was loved very much by you, by his children, and by his grandchildren. I’m so sorry for your loss.
