Terry was the smartest person that I have met in my life. He was also my best friend during our MBA time together. I would read our case a dozen times, and when we would meet to discuss it, he would have read it once and understood points that I missed. He was also very charismatic and a born leader. One of the first things I learned in finance was from him. I learned about his passing from the CU Alumni magazine, and want to say to his family and friends that he made a difference in my life. I loved Terry and am sure that he is in His loving arms now. God bless.
