"Terry was a wonderful friend of Money Creek Buffalo Ranch and Buffalo Gal.( Mike, Valerie, Nicole, Derek, Naomi, Imogene ). We always joked that Terry was the only reason we were still in business. He has been such a regular part of our lives since Cody?s Mercantile days and is sorely missed especially his ?jokes?, medical insight and ultra clean truck. Godspeed Friend. "
In loving memory of
