    Terry was my employer at Spur Oil for three years while I was in college but more importantly I was glad to call him a friend. Marsha and I bought our first home across the street from him and Linda in the Westvale subdivision after my college graduation and our son Dale played with Terry Jean and Randy. Terry will be missed by many.

    Ms.Linda, Terry, and Randy, I am so sorry for your loss. Dale Ladd and I were talking last week about going to their house when they lived by Terry's station when we were kids. Of course through the years Terry was a dear friend to my Mom and all of our family. I always enjoyed seeing him at ball games and when I was a young man I would hang around the station and visit with him and Virgil and the guys who worked for him. He was a good man, true friend and I know he will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

    Terry was one of my very best friends. So glad I got to see him the last time I was in Arkansas. He and Linda were close friends of our many years ago when we lived in Westvale. Linda was Lorri's baby sitter for many years and she and Terry Gene were best of friends. Terry Gene called her "Lirri Bell". God bless Terry, he missed Linda so much.
