Terry was a special friend to me , my brother in law, although not officially, his love for my sister Marilyn was as strong as any marriage certificate. He made me laugh with his dry humor and sometimes made me cry with a misunderstanding, but that is family. Terry would make special little gifts for me out of his leather or wood, and I cherish them all, his way of saying I love you. Chatting with him has always been such a intriguing adventure, I shall miss him with all my heart. I am honored to have been part of his life. Thank you Terry for loving and taking care of my sister, and thank you Marilyn for loving and taking care of my brother inlaw.
