Bonnie, Susie, Debbie, and Cheryl,
So sorry we lost Terry. Last time we saw him he was getting ready for the Antique Tractor Show. We had taken a ride up Freer Hill and were slowly driving by the homestead. Terry thought we might be someone he knew and he came out of the garage with tractor parts in both hands to say hello. We had my brother, Bob Wintermute, and his wife with us. And we all enjoyed listening to Terry talk about the upcoming parade. He sure did enjoy life while he was here.

So sorry Bonnie. I have felt your pain and there is just nothing to be said to make you feel better. Charlie and I always enjoyed when we would sit with you guys at dinner and have conversation. Charlie really liked Terry a lot. God grant you and your family to be able to endure the loss, I am in Florida yet and unable to pay respect. Mary Ann Goble
