    ​What can one truly say about a man who was joy personified? It's impossible to talk about Terry without smiling. To say he was the life of the party doesn't quite capture it; he radiated an infectious energy, always caring about those around him and making sure to include them in his light. He and Nancy were a gift to this world, bringing so much good into the lives of everyone they knew. Todd and I are blessed to have known such a wonderful man, and the sound of his booming laugh and amazing presence will be greatly missed. With deepest condolences, Todd & Rose Crayton Frisco, TX
