I remember how he loved football and his friends. Let’s not forget hunting & fishing 🥴.
Of course you know siblings we were in and out over around and through and at the end of the day family. We would fight with each other, but don’t let someone else touch us…😁
I usually did all the calling to say hi, even though it was long and in between. I always remember he called me last just to say hi and how are you doing? ❤️
Love you
Uncle Terry was such a big part of my life growing up. They lived a block away for most of my childhood and even into my 20s we saw each other often. When I was very young he tormented me, but I loved him anyway. I remember him playing flag football which he seemed to love so much. He would hunt with my father, and I went with them a few times. I remember fondly one time it was cold, rainy and muddy and I got tired (and miserable) so he let me ride piggy-back for the longest time. He was a special man, and I’m sorry we lost touch after my father passed. Rest in peace Uncle Terry…
