Mr. Kennedy,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in Vietnam. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

My heart goes out to Terry's family. I know he will be missed by everyone who knew him. I worked with Terry at Gillette for many years and loved his great sense of humor. Terry was always willing to help whenever he could and gave me some great fatherly advice on many occasions. He was a great person who made this world a better place.

My Dear Terry....

How I will miss you! I will miss our political sparring, reminding you to get a haircut, your calls to tell me about a good movie or TV show (including all the details, time and channel).....but most of all, I will miss watching you with Katie and Maggie..."my girls" as you loved to refer to your granddaughters.

You were not just my father-in-law....you were also my friend and confidante....always there for me when I needed your advice and insight.

I will cherish our relationship forever.

Terry was a great guy. I worked with him for many years at Gillette. We all thought highly of him. Not only was he very dedicated and a great "go to" guy but, he always approached everything with a sense of humor as well. His wit was always appreciated and he wore his heart of his sleeve.
