Terry was a very gentle and caring person that I am proud to have known. We worked together for many years with Interstate Motor Freight and became very close friends during that time period. He was always there whenever you needed him for advice. Beth, Brett and Rachael, My God Bless You and Comfort You during this trying time, but you can always remember that your Husband/Dad was a very well-respected man and we all have been blessed having known him and having been able to share many special times with him........He will be missed....

To Brett, Rachael, and Mrs. Telder,
Although meeting your husband/father only once, it was plain to see he was an outgoing and caring person who was easy to talk to and interested in others. I'm so sorry for your loss, but pray that you will be comforted by your memories of his love for you. His influence will live on through his son, grandchildren, and beyond. God bless you all in this time.

My condolences to the family. He was a very good man. One Thanksgiving, since I had nowhere else to go, he invited me to his home where I had deep-fried turkey for the first time. He will be missed.
