Please accept our deepest sympathy on your loss. Terry was such a special person---he was "old school". You could always count on him to come over immediately, bring a smile with him, and take care of the problem. He will be greatly missed as a friend and a service provider. Special thanks to Ed Hingle who came out of his way to let us know of Terry's passing.

Terry worked one of his last calls with us that Friday before his passing. I will always remember Terry as a kind,mild mannered person willing to help out in anyway he could. We always spoke of quitting smoking and kicking that Nicodevil right in the BUTT! He will live on in our hearts and minds with fond memories. May the family be Blessed with Gods comfort in this time of need.

Our sympathy and prayers to you and your family at this sad time. Terry was not just a Service Technician for Bernhard Mechanical Contractors, even though when he came to our office it was due to our copier being on the "blink," we enjoyed his company. He would go out of his way to do everything possible to get us up and working. Terry was very personable and we will miss him very much! Ellen and Les Wells, Bernhard Mechanical Contractors, Inc.

Terry was a dear friend of many years. He was admired for his friendships, always ready to help, quite the cook and loads of fishing stories, and by what a loving husband and father he was. He will be missed by all but his loss will be felt most by his children and wife. WE mourn for your family and hope that the way he lived his life will continue to comfort you.
