So very sorry to hear of Terry's passing while we were out of town and unable to attend the services. Many fond memories of growing up on Christina St. Meet you in the boogie pond buddy.

To the family of Terry...
We were so sad to receive "the" phone call.
In our hearts we feel that Terry is once again free to walk for miles and to cycle for miles.
We were talking about the time Terry had said he was going for a short bike ride, then he was in Duluth, then Minneapolis. Good thing he had to get back to work or who knows where he would have ended up. :)
There are many fond memories of Terry which will be recalled often, thus living on in our lives.
Love and hugs to all.
