My condolences goes out to the family at this time! My heart hurts for you all! Oh Terry where so I start, well I fist meet Terry yrs ago, and cleaned for him and one thing about Terry was his white glove he had to check in on me and make sure nothing was left behind, but that's when I got the sense of humor he had, and that's what kept him going. Terry "Boss" your very missed, by so many people, but I know you are no longer in pain and you can rest in peace now sir . We all miss you so very much
