    I’m sure he had at least 2 wonderful women waiting for him at the gates of Heaven with arms wide open. He was a great man to many in our community! ❤

    To all you Hacks, so very sorry for this loss. This a big shock even to me. Figured he would be here long after I was gone. Amazing guy who mowed like a million miles of grass, and NOT just his grass. Kevin, sure WISH you would of had that Terry Park party at the beach. At least I have the old Galaxie to remind me of him. I still remember setting that NICE old car full of us kids going nowhere, not suppose do that. Prayers to all of you all.God Bless you all
