Terry is a full fledged Angel now. He would answer the phone with a quick "yeah", but if you needed something done that day, he would drop what he was doing and help. Going to Menards for building supplies for my stupid house will never be the same!! The last time I saw him he needed a jump for his blazer outside of Home Depot in Orland, and I didnt think twice about running over to help him. I remember saying, no sweat Terry, you would do it for me. He was a very hard worker and I looked forward to him working on a project at my house because I knew it would turn out great. When I broke down in tears, he had solutions that worked. Someday I will have to go into that room to finish what he started, and it will be finished, but I wont ever forget him working with me to design home improvements. Thanks for workin on the Monte too. Peace Terry. We will all see you later.

Man, it's been 25 years or more since I last saw you, not quite sure why, I guess life just got in the way. I remember when we took your Chevelle out for that 1st test drive after you finally had it primed and ready to paint. Looking back, maybe we should have waited till after it rained. I also remember that night with Bills TA, when we couldn't get the newspaper lit. Lucky for us you came up with the plan to pour gas on it as we lit it. It took awhile for the hair to grow back on the right side of my body, but it's fine now. You were also the first person, I believe, who ever said Dude, yet you never smoked, drank, or did drugs. Anyway, I'm not sure we will wind up in the same place, so put in a good word for me. Sorry I waited too long to write, it was great knowing you, God Bless

Terry "one of the good guys" I was trying to remember when I first met you, probably at Isaksons or Fire House 2 (we all remember those days). I have so many memories of volleyball, Poker games and just hanging out! You will be truly missed. It was a pleasure knowing you! RIP My friend!

Memories
I do not know exactly how many years I've known Terry, however for as long as I've known him, he has always been a good friend that anyone would be glad to have.
We often went out to eat and enjoyed time talking sports and cars. He was always picking on my “Ford's” and me on his “Chevy's.” He would
Always joke about my Probe but when it came time to fix it, he was there.
What I remember the most was when he showed up at the house Jeky and Chico would welcome him and he enjoyed playing with them. He would take time from his work to feed and water Chico's cats which he liked as well as his own.
I'll never forget Terry and I will always remember the smile on his face when we joked around and spent time together.
Always

I have a lot of great memories from Terry some of which I still talk about to people in my life of whom never met him. If the people I've shared those memories with were to meet Terry they would immediately see what a great person he is. Thank you Terry for the privilage of knowing you and excepting me into your life. You are one of kind and this world is a better place for having you here even if it was for a very short time.

I will always be greatful for Terry - he was a valued friend of my parents and was always helping them with their endless requests. Rarely would I have a conversation with them when Terry wasn't mentioned. We will all miss him very much.

They don't make 'em like Terry any more. Just a kind hearted, honest person. He was always laughing and poking fun at everything (he loved his off color jokes too!). Such a hard worker and always willing to help at any time. Love you and miss you Terry, my friend forever.
