Terry worked at Banks Hardware after school and most summers during his childhood years and most of his adult life. Terry was much more than an em- ployee, manager and family member at the store. He was an integral part of Banks Hardware for many, many years. While working retail can be a little challenging at times, Terry always greeted everyone with the same smile and was determined to have them find what they were looking for before they left the store. Banks Hardware was fortunate to have Terry behind the counter and at the helm doing his part in keeping this little small town hardware store going! Terry is truly missed; not only by all of us at Banks Hardware, and his family, but by the entire community, many of whom he greeted as they en- tered the store. The Weaver Family, Terry’s extended family and all of us at Banks Hardware encourage you to join us this coming Saturday, May 7th, at the American Le- gion Hall in Banks, from 2-5:00 PM to help us celebrate his life. We would also like to take this time to thank everyone for their kind and caring remarks con- cerning Terry, both before and after his passing. Knowing that so many peo- ple cared for Terry was very comforting, especially to our family. We hope to see you this Saturday!
