I met Terry while working at the gas station. For years I would see him everyday I worked. He would come in enjoy some coffee and read. He was one of the nicest and most honest people I have ever met
From Jim, Linda and the Baker clan we send our condolences and sympathies for the recent loss of Terry. We have fond memories of visits with Meredith and Shirley and kids growing up, including those times bailing hay or picking berries during the summer. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
You will be deeply missed Terry. I will always rember you. Such a sweet kind hearted man. You treated me my husband and kids so nice always asked about how we were. You would visit me when I was working when I first met you and would get icecream when it was hot. This past year my kids really got to know who you were mr.Terry as they say was always nice to them. And he knew who they were that always made them excited. This town will never be the same. Rest in peace.
