Terry and I have been friends since the summer before we entered six grade and we graduated from Parkville High School 1959. Having lived in the same neighborhood, we shared many of the same friends and we became friends as well! We went our separate ways and lost contact. In 1965 we accidentally met at a social gathering. Our friendship was always just that, a friendship . Terry was a good man, with strong beliefs in our Lord. He loved his kids and was thrilled to become a grandfather. I will always remember Terry for his kindness and caring. Over the years, we didn't see one another, but periodically kept in touch. I never had the pleasure of meeting his family, but Terry cherished them. Terry, no more pain, no illness. I know that you have found peace and rest and you are now with the LORD......until we meet again dear friend.
