I got ole Terry into Archery while stationed at Eielson. Did a bit of hunting too. I sure miss this great friend. I never ever saw him in a foul mood, he was always joking and carrying on with me, can still hear him laugh. It was with Terry we discovered an awesome trail in Alaska, the scenery was just crazy, and I believe we both witnessed heaven that day. I have prayed for his family for the Lord to guide and protect them during this difficult time, but rest assured, Terry is with Him.
