Mary, I did not know you and Terry very well but when I started to hear about all of Terry's struggles with his medical issues, I thought about you often & what you were going through. Diane always kept me updated. I admired Terry's great strength & optimism. And when I saw him at Reiney's birthday party he was amazingly positive & upbeat. What a great guy! Heartfelt condolences to you & your family.

Dear Lippert Family, Terry was such a positive and vibrant person. He always looked on the brightside of life and work. I had the pleasure of working with Terry at Niakwa in the 1980's. He brought a tremendous work ethic and was someone you always wanted by your side in difficult times. Our prayers are with you.

There really are no words to express the sadness that is felt at this time. Terry always seemed to make people smile, laugh, and overall just made people feel happy. Too many memories to even begin to share. My thoughts are with the Lippert Family as you grieve this enormous loss. His love for you was evident to all and may that along with your memories comfort you in the coming days.
With love and hugs,

Terry was simply one of the nicest people to ever walk the earth. A great friend, a great person, generous with his time, always saw the good in people. Gone far too soon and leaving behind a huge hole in many hearts.
