Terry was hardly a ‘career criminal’ He ran a buisness, Best Man Painting, where he was a custom painter. He made homes all over Augusta beautiful until his cancer got the best of him. Who knows what was going through his mind at the time of the shooting? Terry was very sick and was on many medications. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Terry was loved by many.
