Heartfelt regrets to Terry's family and friends. I spent 18 years with Terry on the farm in Makanda. We had alot of good times and had the opportunity to travel together. I learned alot from him, and as we all do, have regrets in my life. We were recently in contact, and it saddens me to hear of his passing. There will always be a special place for him in my heart.

I'm sorry to hear of Tom's passing. We had worked together at Dongola Post Office for about 5 yrs. He was fun to work with. I liked hearing about some of the things he collected. Crystal Tarpley
