Terry was one of the greatest friends. He was the type of person that he would give you his last time if you needed it. He loved a good time and he loved his friends here in Arkansas. Sorry I was unable to attend the funeral, it was just too far away. He will be greatly missed by all of us. Let's all remember his sayings: "Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh", "Up Against the Wall", "Power to the bone", "What are they gonna do, take my birthday away" Love you Terry and Goodbye!
