Larry J Ter Avest

On September 12th, Larry J Ter Avest went to his heavenly home surrounded by his family. To honor Larry's wishes we will not list his achievements, other than to say he loved his Lord and Savior and always wanted to honor Him with his life. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ter Avest, his baby sister Betty, his brother John, his stepmother Betty Bailey, his in-laws Mr. and Mrs. Clare De Went.
