Terry taught me the tighten up. How to diffuse things. How to have fun in the moment. When to take a break. how long to stay on that break. I had a lot of fun because of him. I grew professionally as well. I thank him very much.

Terry always knew were to get the best peanuts.
I am grateful to have met him, and known him. He saw humor in most things and kept things real. Exposed. Always nice. I thank him for the many lessons he taught me, the laughs, for letting me hang with the incredible family that he raised. i'll miss that guy.
