He was a true John Deere fan and was excited to purchase the John Deere his grandfather used on his farm. Terry worked hard on restoring the tractor and getting it looking like new. He even took it to a few tractor pulls. Terry enjoyed playing tractors and reading books with his grandkids. They looked forward to coming to his house and playing with the toys he had.
