Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We new Terry way back in the Glendive days. Terry was a very nice guy and I’m saddened his family lost him so early in his life.
Greg Hellyer says
I know it’s traditional to say only nice things about someone who has passed away. But that wasn’t my relationship with Terry. We were friends. We insulted each other, laughed at each other.
Working with Terry for 10 years in Colstrip, and everyday was an adventure. We argued and didn’t always agree. But we knew we were friends. No matter what, he was there for me.
I’m saddened to hear of his passing. I have a thousand memories of Terry. A tear rolls down my cheek as I wish condolences to his daughters and grandchildren. He loved you very much.
It was great knowing Terry. I will miss him.

I have known Terry for many years, and always enjoyed working with and being around him. In my mind Terry was always steadfast and thoughtful,with a twinkle in his eye,someone you could depend on. I really enjoyed Terry and am saddened for all of us at his passing. As Christians ,we know the best is yet to be,Terry is enjoying that now, we must take comfort in that knowledge. In many ways, Terry was unforgettable. I will pray for him and all who loved him.
Doreen, Craig, Lane, Trent Herbert says
We were very shocked and saddened to hear of Terry’s death. I didn’t know him very well but do know he was a caring, giving man. During the season we feed our football team each week and he so graciously donated food to feed those hungry boys every week!! I stopped and thanked Terry more than once for doing that and he said that they did that in Colstrip so he just carried it on here in Glasgow. Prayers to his family for the difficult days ahead. Another good one gone way too soon…
Libby Berndt says
I will surely miss Terry’s one line responses to questions sent from the Reynolds marketing dept. He always made Sara and I laugh when his emails or text messages would come across, not always knowing what the one word response was for…
He always made me smile. Thank you for all you gave to Reynolds Market, no one will be able to replace your dedication. RIP my friend.
Sam Mudlin says

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Terry. He was a fantastic individual who will be greatly missed. Terry was a valuable and respected member of our community whose support of our 4-H youth is legendary. His support of 4-H activities and fundraisers enabled us to reach members and develop lifeskills that will prepare them to step responsibly into our community and serve as Terry did. Through these efforts he leaves an important and effective legacy.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences. A donation will be made to the Glasgow Swimming Pool Fund in Terry’s name. We appreciate his support and remember him as a true friend of 4-H.
Sincerely,
LaMae Lacock
Valley County 4-H Council
