I was sorry to hear of Mr. McCaskill's passing.  I remember him fondly from years past; when as a young pregnant bride, nauseated by everything, Mr. McCaskill introduced me to Daiquiri Ice and settled my stomach. He was a kind, friendly man, and I always enjoyed visiting with him at the Kern location. I am so sorry for your loss.

Mr. McCaskill,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I still share the valuable life lessons that I learned from Terry while working at Baskin-Robbins.  Heartfelt condolences to Pat, Shirley, Cindy, Jim & Ruthie - I remember all of you from B-R and from EPHS & Mesita band. (Karen McLaughlin Bolen)

My wonderful uncle, such a blessing to his family and his parents and syblings.  So many friends and people lives he touched at home and in his travels.  So proud to be related to him.  His gracious elegance captured everyone with his James Garner smile and friendly voice.  I will miss his welcoming love and always being there for his niece....Jo Anne Moran, San Diego, CA

Our deepest condolences to the entire family.  Mr. McCaskill was a very kind man, he will be greatly missed.

I know that our lord has a beautiful angel right
By his side now.  And as the sun shines down 
On us that is you watching over us and his family .
You were indeed a wonderful friend that will forever 
Be in our hearts!!  (Louie  & fam.)

Dear Pat and Family,
I will always remember Terry's warm and friendly handshakes and joyous smile, even at the times when I wondered if, due to his health, he might not have been feeling that great that day. What a wonderful witness. Pam and I love you and wish we could be there for the memorial celebrating his life. God Bless you Pat, and all of the family.

I will always remember the birthay at Elephant Butte Lake and haveing Baskin Robbins ice cream in 105 degree heat.  What a wonderful neighbor and friend who will be missed. Expecting scoops of ice cream when we meet again.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To Pat and family, How I always felt joy and happiness when I would meet and greet with Terry.  He was always upbeat and cheerful.  He had the biggest smile I think I have ever seen.  He brought joy to all people that he met!  Thanks be to God for Terry.

If I can say I knew Terry McCaskill through his son, James, it's been my privilege knowing you. Godspeed.

We are very saddened to hear about the loss of Mr. McCaskill.  He was always so nice and friendly.  Our condolences to the entire family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  God Bless. 
Lea Rae R. Hugo and family

Tery had been a long time friend of mine and Doyle Bulloch abd he will be missed greatly.  We both attended UTEP with Terry.  I is with geat sorrow that we have lost a great freind and father.

From the moment I joined this family, Terry and Pat welcomed me into their home.  Terry was quite witty and we shared many opinions; but we didn't always agree and so I also enjoyed a few lively, often humorous conversations with him over the years.  I hold him in high esteem as a Christian, husband, father, friend and business man.  I can say that I miss him, and my life hasn't given me many about whom I can say that.  To all those who knew and loved Terry, I offer these words of encouragement: "...that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope...we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with [him] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).  I will miss him.  But I will see him again!  (And I have not just written all of this because HE bought ME ice cream ;)  Please enjoy the song, With Hope, by Steven Curtis Chapman, which is taken from the passage in 1 Thessalonians: http://youtu.be/JmyUgsmCzB4

Dad, thank you for the many nuggets of wisdom you imparted on us through the years. You taught me how to love life. How I will treasure the fact that you always took time to get know a complete stranger and make them feel good about themselves. I love you Dad!

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.  May God Bless and keep the family.

Terry touched, helped and influenced the lives of countless people.  He will be deeply missed.  

May God bless my sister and all of her family in this time of sorrow.  Love you all.
