I am greatly saddened to hear this news. Terry was always very kind to me when I worked with him. He was always full of fun. The people at the Center loved him. He made a difference in their lives. I worked with Doug closely for many years. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. The hole that it leaves in your heart will always be found empty and missing your Daddy. You will learn how to live but it will forever be changed by his absence. Sending my condolences and my love to this beautiful family! Rest peacefully my friend and watch over your loved ones from above.
