Pappy Terry, I never got to see you that much, but you will be greatly missed. Especially your dutch jokes...i never understood them, but you always chuckled at my puzzled face.

Chuck and Scott - I cannot even begin to imagine the grief and saddness that you feel. i know that you put up brave faces, but deep down you are broken. Just remember, he's in a place where he is happy, and healthy, and pain free, and best of all, looking down on you and your families, hand in hand with your mom.

Love, chas

Terry will always be remembered by his involvement in the local community. The countless lifetime of hours dedicated to the fire company and the surounding community should not go un-noticed. A farmer who had an appreciation for hunting, the competition of high school sports and the Philadelphia Phillies were a few of the passions that I knew him to have.

I am sorry, our community lost a good guy.
