To the Tobey Family: Please accept our condolences on the passing of Terry. It is never easy, especially coming so suddenly. As everyone who knew him knows, he was a great person. I especially remember the numerous ski trips Terry, Chris, Tim and I took out West. Terry was always the life of the group keeping us laughing throughout, as well as being an excellent skier. Those were truly fun times that will be sorely missed.

When people pass we say "they are in a better place" Terry made all those he came in contact with and those of us who worked for him "a better place". I worked for him 14 yrs. He was gracious, made you feel valued, important, and wanting to be better. I respected him, will miss his handshake, big smile, and "Hi, I,m Terry Tobey". RIP TR.

Everything has probably already been said. I affectionately nicknamed him AIR FORCE 3 for his many travels. You can tell how successful a business is by how well the owner is respected by those who not only worked for him but also by those who didn't. Terry has had the same managerial team for YEARS and two of his most LOYAL employees in Jim Gregory over 40 years, Rich Critz,over 30 years plus some salespeople over 20 years, WHY ???? Grass ain't greener anywhere else,I should know, I left and Terry didn't hesitate when I told him I wanted back. Key is a family ,a place that makes you feel like home all because of T.R. .......

The news of Terry's stroke was a time of continual prayer for his recovery, however God in His wisdom decided to take him into eternity.
Teryy was a great guy to work for and he really cared about his employees. He treated me very well and I am grateful for having known him.
My condolences to all and prayers during this untimely tragic loss.
Sincerely,

Terry was always pleasant and warm. He was one of my first clients when I was a young salesperson. He was the best tv pitchman I have seen over the years. Deepest condolences to Diane Chris and family. He was one of the good guys! Thanks for sharing about his last round at kiawah!

I did not know Terry and have never purchased a car from him. I only know him from watching his commercials for many years. It's funny, but I could tell he was a great man just by seeing him on TV. My heartfelt condolences to his family and everyone who loved him.

As his media representative, I spent many hours in Terry's office talking about life, politics and how he was going to continue working so his children didn't take all of his money. We talked a little business too. He will certainly be missed by many. Dayton lost a truly great person
