Nikki & family, Terry was the greatest guy. He would give you a shirt off his back. He kept our church lawn so pretty. No weeds dare grow there. He was always one of the few you could count on to be there to help. He will be missed in my heart. Have not seen him for a while but always had a smile for me when I did. Prayers, hugs & love for you. Deb Coppus

Deb and I are so sorry to hear of Terry´s passing. He and Nikki were such good friends and a real blessing to the ministry of the church. Terry and I would often go on visitation together to the nursing homes and hospital as well as home visits to shut-ins. He believed with strong faith of getting close to God by "doing to the least of these ..." so many will remember Terry with fondness as he dedicated his life to serving Christ and His church.
