  1. Papa, it’s almost been 6 years since I lost you. You were my bestest friend. My life hasn’t been the same without you. I just want to say that I love you.

  2. Terry,
    However brief, we spent some Great times on the “West Slope” in the old “Imp” & on sleds. The snow was deep, the weather cold and the work was – work. But you never lost your smile and that great Kentucky “We can do this” attitude. Your friendship is cherished, your love for nature is embedded and your passion for life is enlightening. I am thankful for the time spent together. You taught me well. They don’t make ’em like you anymore.
    Otis said it right, “I salute you as a Vet, I am honored by you as a fellow worker, I am a better person because of you.”
    May your family find God’s Peace, – See you on the “Other Side of the Creek”
