Terry made my freshman year of college very special. Coming out back then was difficult, but he made it easy. Guess what, Terry! I found the man of my dreams, just like you!

To Angelo and Terry's family, I extend my heartfelt sympathy. Though I had not seen Terry in many years and we were in only very occasional contact, I remember him vividly and fondly from University of Texas days. He was quite special.

I had the pleasure of knowing Terry in high school & was lucky enough to see him at our class reunion in 2009. He was just as gracious & kind as I remember. Please accept my condolences. We need more men like Terry in this world.

I haven't seen Terry in many, many years but I still think of him fondly in so many ways. When we were colleagues in Northbrook all those years ago it was fun, it was excitng, he was special. I used to describe my feelings about him as: when he walked into a room, the light went on, when he left, the light went out. Deep condolences to Angelo, family and friends. He was quite a man and I will never, never forget him. I guess that's how we keep wonderful people like Terry with us forever, by remebering. Love you, Terry. Twenty-five years haven't changed that.

Terry was such a giving person. He loved to baby people. He really cared about people and took the time to make them feel special. The world just lost a really pretty soul.
