Aunt Donna,
I am sorry I couldn't stay for the service this past week. But I know Terry is still with all of us. Terry has always been very special to me. You are someone I have always looked up to and also very dear to my heart. My last memory is holding hands with Terry on the couch last October. I hope that you and Brad's family will come down and go golfing with us soon. I will continue to keep you and Brad in my prayers.
Love you, Patty

Donna and Family...I am so sorry to hear about Terry's passing. I guess I knew him almost from the beginning since I was his coach after the academy. I enjoyed the times we played golf at York . In fact I saw him there just before Lynn and I moved to S.C. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Donna & Brad & the Entire Flinders Family: Ken and I are so sorry about Terry's passing. In the short time we knew him, he came off as such a sweet, kind man. It seems like we were all blessed by knowing him. He will not be forgotten in our household! Thru his passing, it has certainly taught us not to take each other for granted, and to love and cherish each other & every day that we have here. We are always here for you and your family. God bless you thru this very difficult time. Your neighbors...Ken, Dana, Owen & Oliver Waldron

Donna, Brad, and family - It was with deep sadness when I heard about Terry. Our interactions with each other back in the 70's and 80's were always pleasant and upbeat. I feel certain that the many folks whose lives he touched will greatly miss this gentle man. May the Lord sustain and keep you in this loss.

Donna, Please know that we are here for you now and always. Those whom knew Terry are all comforted by the fact that he knew Jesus before his passing and now shares a home with Him in heaven. I will never forget looking out my front window every morning and seeing the most beautifully manicured yard and well kept home...and it is yours, not mine...Terry will be missed but he is pain free now. Praise the Lord. The Steiner Family

I have been retired quite a while and lost contact with Terry through the years. Saddened to hear of his passing. Worked 3 pct with him in the 80's. He was a fine officer and loved talking of his son's golfing skills. Prayers of comfort for his family at this time.

As a retired Columbus officer, I worked with Terry from time to time and found him to always have a smile and a joyful attitude about life and his job. May God give you the strength to endure the days ahead in the knowledge that Terry is no longer in pain and is safe in The Arms of Jesus.
