I'm still numb to know Terry has gone. I see some names I recognize, Terry knew a lot of people. I'm sorry and sad, take care Sue! There were some good times at old mother Carrier. RIP ,Terry, you deserve that.

Terry was a wonderful person, especially when he took such great care of my aunt Renie at their home. He loved his Harley's and enjoyed life to the fullest. You will truly be missed my friend.

I worked with Terry at Carrier for years. He would always give me advice and I'm so glad I took most of it. He was always friendly and made people feel comfortable from the start. I'm so sorry for your loss Susie. You two were so great together. You're in my prayers Susie.

Sue, so sorry for the loss of Terry. When I would give him a hug, I would call him my big teddy bear. He had such a big heart, he was always there when I needed him. He would take me on motor cycle rides and treat me to lunch. I remember one time he let me trim his beard, well when I got done there wasn't much left. Well to say the least, he never let me trim it again. I will miss him so much, but the memories will be with me for ever. Now your Harley has wings, fly high my friend, till we meet again.

I´ve known Terry (Hairbag) for pretty close to 50 years with him working at Carrier with my late brother in law Uncle Nine. He had such a big heart and a sense of humor that you just couldn´t help but love him. Although we lost touch over the years I was so glad to reconnect with him through facebook. My heart and much love goes out to Sue (The Mail Lady) and the rest of his family and friends. Fly high my dear friend Hairbag, and say hi to Uncle Nine and, Aunt Sue for me.
