So sorry Susie and Kim. You are in our prayers. Love you.
Never met Terry, but visited with him by phone. He was very kind to me, a stranger. He was an artist and very talented.
May he rest in peace.
Susie and kimberly, we are so sorry to learn of Terry’s death. You are in our prayers. Shirley and Monte
A Great friend
We will miss Terry. His suffering is now over
A friend who will always be remembered as a great man and competitor. Terry was always there with a word of advice and encouragement. I will miss him. May condolences to Terry’s family.
Terry helped me several times. He put the finishing touches on a stock that ended up looking like a show piece, thanks again Terry. For his family and friends, know that Terry was well respected and an all around good guy. RIP.
Our Lord must have needed some fantastic woodwork done in heaven. Terry was a great guy who would take the time to go over every detail knowing it was going to get him behind in his orders. We spent many hours laughing about the oopsies as he would call them that happened around the shop and the method of salvaging them from becoming kindling in the fireplace. We will miss ya boss, look down on us occasionally and let the good Lord Jesus know as crazy as we benchresters are he is still the most important thing in our lives.
We are diminished,
Speedy
