Terry was such a great person. We will miss him terribly. He & Carol became weekly attendants at our auctions in Schuylerville. Each time he passed the desk he would smile and have a quick comment. Lately, he had been keeping us updated weekly on his race car and was looking forward to his first race in quite some time.
He always liked to talk to other customers, our son Delbert, or anyone about motors or such. I know that I speak for our customers as well, when I say that he was well liked, will be missed very much. and our deepest sympathies go out to Carol & his family, and all who loved him. RIP Mr. 89

If there is a silver lining in this terrible moment it is that Terry went while doing something that he loved. Rest in peace old friend. We are going to miss you. Our deep sympathy to Carol and the family.
Dear Carol and the entire Stevenson Family,
