I had the great pleasure of meeting Terry here at Massasoit. I was honored to be invited to the viewing of the marvellous story of his battle. I have missed his presence here and my utmost admiration goes to his wife. What a legacy! My prayers.

To the O'Toole family I extend my deepest sympathy. Dr. O'Toole delivered my two children, in 1998 and 2001. He was an expert in his field, and I will remember him for his wit and caring manner.
