He's been on my mind a lot. Worried over how things were going with his new parts.
I've been updating a lot of things on the Interstate he sold me with intention of showing him all the cool upgrades and new parts on his old bike.
Miss you Brother!  Sad
All the best to Gina and the family.

Does anyone know if he ever attended Hotglue's Gathering of the Fools BBQ? Just wondering if I'd ever had the pleasure of meeting him...

Terry was a curve carver for sure. Only had the pleasure to ride with him twice.  Both were very good experiences. He not only was a carver but a good man  for sure.

Such sad news.  I know we all went from so hopeful to heartbroken.  I can't begin to imagine what Terry and his family have gone through the last few years. 

RIP, Terry.  I'll take a raincheck on riding with you again.

Very sad.  Prayers for his family.  Road with him a few times but as a flat lander could never keep up, but he was a good sport and waited for us from time to time.  Great guy and he loved to share the road with his friends.
