Terry will be missed by many.

    Ms.Linda, Terry, and Randy, I am so sorry for your loss. Dale Ladd and I were talking last week about going to their house when they lived by Terry's station when we were kids. Of course through the years Terry was a dear friend to my Mom and all of our family. I always enjoyed seeing him at ball games and when I was a young man I would hang around the station and visit with him and Virgil and the guys who worked for him. He was a good man, true friend and I know he will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
