Barbara and I have been one of Terry and Brian’s long time clients. Terry is someone I truly enjoyed having in my life. We talked a lot while he was at the house and he was always upbeat and knowledgeable about things. I called him my blue collar sage based on his smarts about yards and many other things. He was happy getting dirty and doing what was right. I will never forget his smile and good nature. The world needs a lot more people like Terry. Barbara and I will miss him, but will keep his spirit on our hearts. Lyle White

I first met Terry back in the late 50's or early 60's, our families had attended Queen of the Holy Rosary church and school. The Kraft family was new to the area and were very down to earth and welcoming. Terry was always a good friend back in those days but we lost contact over the years but I never forgot him and the Kraft family. I am sorry to hear about Terry's passing.
