We just read the news about Terry. We owned businesses next to each other in Laporte. He helped me & my family in so many ways through the years. We knew all his family Jeannie. We are so sorry Brian. I can honestly say I can call Terry a true friend. He was the type of person who could repair anything. Sue & I are very saddened by this news.
