There is a void in my heart having lost my son: To a parent a child is always a child; though they leave the nest, they never leave your heart. So, my son now lives in another world. This loneliness would be unbearable were it not for God, family and friends.
Thank you – all of you. God bless and keep you healthy, happy and prosperous. Always take time to enjoy your family.

Puddy, from you I first heard the comforting words, "Weeping endureth for a night, but joy comes in the morning".
For you brother, it is now morning. We shall one day share this joy, when you and I walk the streets of Glory. Until then, My prayers go out to your beautiful family.
Love,
John and Mouse Hauck

My first two weeks of living in St. Louis include Terry and his family, in 1972. He was a great friend and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

TERRY, OUR BROTHER
Terry, our brother, our dispatching clown
You made us laugh when our spirits were down.
You worked and played at one easy speed
You were there for us all when we were in need.
Your outlook, your humor, your zest for life
Your loving commitment to your daughters and wife.
Your loyalty to your police sisters and brothers
Your eagerness to help - always extended to others.
Your jokes, your laughter, your incessant song
All ended too soon and that seems so wrong.
All the things that you are, we’ll miss oh so much
When a breeze blows upon us, we’ll know it’s your touch.
We know you’re with God and at peace you will stay
Smiling down on us, until we have our day.
You’ve led a good life and run a good race
Watch over us, guide us, and save us a place.
Your brothers and sisters at
Bridgeton Police Department

How many unexpected things happen in this life! It never occurred to me to think Terry would be in Heaven before me, but then, the steps of a good man (including his last ones) are ordered by the Lord.
Sorrowful though we are for this loss, let us remember that our God maketh no mistake, and rest in the knowledge that He works all things together for our good. By faith we know this is true, even when we cannot understand how at a moment like this.
Although Paula and I never knew Terry's family, we send our love and sympathy to you...and a prayer that one day we all may meet in Heaven. Paula has many fond memories of all the "rap sessions" with the youth group at BOF, of which Terry was a faithful and very active member.
