I attended Tilden Tech with Terry. The smile in the yarbook picture says it all. He was a great guy who I still remember 50+ years later. He will be remembered at our 50th reunion.

Just heard about Terry. He was a friend of my father's and I've known him most of my life. Always extended his wisdom to me whenever he could. I will miss him.
