Terry loved fishing with Pete all the time and now they are fishing up with God. Pete picked out the perfect fishing hole just for the two of them. Terry was a wonderful man and treated everyone with dignity and respect. I will miss seeing him walk by and out in the garden with his wife. With all of our love Hope and the family.

Terry was a wonderful man and neighbor. From the day we moved to the neighborhood, he always said hello and waved. He was so kind to our kids, even donning his Santa uniform and coming over for a brief visit. He loved to offer his 2 cents advice on projects that needed to get done on our home. We loved having conversations with him and his wife about just about everything. He was firm in his belief in a safe neighborhood for all, and got real vocal when there was any type of neighborhood un-pleasantries. I loved his honest values and patriotism. I will miss his sarcasm and humor and "to the point" answers. His family lost a beautiful husband, father and grandparent. We lost a wonderful, kind neighbor. This country is lost a patriotic citizen who served his country in one of the most politically difficult times in US history. Terry, thank you. Your warmth and wit will not be forgotten. -The Pruyne Family

Sorry I never got to meet this great man. Have heard so many wonderful things about him from Tanya and Mike. Knowing Tanya,Terry surely was a wonderful person and dad to have had such a fabulous daughter. As they say “ the apple doesent fall far from the tree”. During these tough times focus on the many years and great memories You shared together. My love and thoughts to Terry’s family
