Terry and I go back nearly 25 years. I offer the family our sincere thoughts and prayers. He was a great guy and wished often that something would happen to me - so that he could have my job. He meant that in a good natured, funny way. He had a great sense of humor and a great dedication to his students.

He will be missed by all.

Terry will be greatly missed by all that had the pleasure to know him. He always had a smile on his face and after a few short moments those around him also were smiling. He was always like that from as far back as I can remember. I am his cousin and we grew up two blocks apart and I have many great memories of the time spent together during the summers and at all family get togethers. He was a true gift to all.

Mr. K will be missed dearly. He was always a charming man to be around and he loved what he did and the kids he taught. This is such a sad loss. It happens to the best of us.. Rest in Paradice.

I will miss my daily dose of Mr. K. His presence, humor, and thoughtfulness were always something that you could look forward to and count on. He was a wonderful co-worker and friend. My prayers are with his family.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I have nothing but great memories of Mr. Koenig. He was always very funny and had a great joke or story to tell. You could tell he loved life and what he did. He will be missed
