I worked at the Dairy Queen with Terry. We had fun BUT we worked hard. Riggles ran a tight ship. God bless you. Terry was a fine man.

There are no words that make you feel any better at this very difficult time. Remember all the great memories that you shared and made together. I personally know that the Credit Union functions that we were a part of would have no way been as enjoyable without the both of you being part of them. The first time I met Terry we became friends, truly because that was Terry. From that point forward, I always enjoyed looking forward our annual event. As I believe Terry would want you to do is Cherish the memories and Celebrate the life you shared.

Terry & I attended the one room country school in Oliveburg & he was recognized by his warm smile & friendly personality. Dorothy, may loving memories ease the pain of your loss. I still remember you two in high school riding together in that Rambler station wagon. God less you & your family.
