My cuz, Terry, we had fun when we were young down on the farm. Except the day they played Kick the Can. RIP and may God be with you.

Deepest condolences to Terrys family. We had a few beers and pool games at Big Brothers back a few years ago! Very nice guy who’ll be missed by family and friends.

Terry and I had a bond, to the point he was the best man in my wedding in 1977. Can’t say much for the bachelor party he threw, though. It entailed a ride on my BMW motorcycle to my Grandfather’s cabin in northern Pennsylvania.

Terry’s BMW love fell towards cars, and we often spent time hovering over his precious 2002. We also shared great music, and spent many times in his basement where he had created a fantastic Harmon-Kardon stereo system. We shook the walls listening to Supertramp.

Terry was a gentle soul, a caring person, and a great friend. His passing is a great loss for us all.

Condolences to Terry "Slim" Bechards family for this tragic loss. Terry and I go way back growing up on the Lake Shore Road farms of our families, with plenty of memories. This makes it especially hard to accept. Oh the stories we could tell. Fly high Slim, this Brador is a salute to you.

After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.

Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.
