Suzy and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. It is a rare opportunity to met a person that embraced those around him and had an enthusiasm for his existence to take advantage of each moment in his life. I feel priviledge to have know Terry. I did not know until reading him obituary that we share the same birthday. Terry will be truly missed.

I remember this summer when I came and stayed at your place, we were out by the pool in the morning and Terry was bopping around getting stuff done. then he got out his fruit picking tool, plucked a couple grapefruits off the tree and made us a gin and juice to enjoy. He had such a beautiful spirit and energy, and was a fun guy to spend time around.

Suzy, i'm sorry for your loss. Terry will be missed and you'll be in my prayers.

much love to you,
Janice

Suzy, I am sorry to hear of your loss. Know that Terry's footprint on life was wide and positive. His suggestion that we room together at UW was a big reason I transfered. It changed my life.

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,


May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.


May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.

I am proud to have known you- My Sister could never have found a better Husband...

To Terrys' family; my deepest sympathy to each of you. I worked with Terry and always found him to be a gentleman first, very nice with a great sense of humor. As a friend, I too am very saddened by his loss. May he eternally rest in peace.
