Im so very sad to hear about the passing of a Levy County legend. Terry Tillis was A force to be reckoned with. An amazing character with a big heart. When I heard of his passing so many memories of our younger years came rushing back. One thing for sure is Terry was one of a kind.. To this day when I hear Hank Williams Jrs sons Country boy can survive I think of Terry and smile. He will be missed but NEVER be forgotten. Love to his family and friends. Know that you are not alone in your grief. Love Bonnie George
