Hillary & family. We are truly shocked and deeply saddened of this tragic loss. We just got home from vacation late 5/31 and only found out this morning. Was so happy to see your Dad happy and waving in his truck before we left. Please know our thoughts & prayers are w/ you. Such a great, kind & caring couple.

Never will forget the day Terry told me he was Barry's brother. Until Barry confirmed that statement, I thought Terry was teasing me again. To the family, offering my deepest sympathy. They will be missed by all who knew them. Sad times in the valley.
