    There was never a dull moment with you around. You were constantly making people laugh whether you were trying to or not, that was just Uncle Terry. You were one stubborn hard headed bull but you had a heart like a teddy bear. The family gatherings just won’t be the same without you. Tell Nana, Billy, and Baby Paul we said hello and give them love from us.
