Terry Childers was a person that if u were a friend he treated u as a friend . If he could help u he would help u, He was a smart person and help u on most anything . If i was doing something and needed advice he was always willing to give it. I will miss the times we would go to lunch on Mondays and talk cars or whatever. I am going to really miss Terry and my god bless his family
