Sincerest condolences, Janet and family. I will miss all the chatter with Terry about the Royals and the cucumbers & tomatoes that mysteriously found their way onto our deck during the summer. Terry was a good man and a strong man.

I am grateful for the life of Mr. Joles. Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Joles family during this time. Terry was such a great man that I had the pleasure to know. He raised incredible children and I get the privilege to call one of them my friend. I will remember Terry cheering us all on from the sidelines and know that he will continue to cheer on his family and friends from above!
Terry was a vendor to us at Dultmeier Sales. It was always a pleasure when he stopped in. He was a great help to us anytime we needed him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. God be with you all.
I will miss you. I met you 1 year ago at the hospital and we shared lots of stories and pictures together. Thank you for allowing me to take care of such a wonderful man. Heart felt prayers to your family and friends. Steven Taylor, Lees Sunmit Hospital.
