Mr. Summers, Mike, Darlene, Karen and all of your grown-up "kids." I was sorry to read in the Bee of Terry's death. It seems like only yesterday, instead of half a century ago, that I met the three little Summers' boys on a nice summer's day as they played happily together. I am sorry that all of you have suffered yet another loss. Sincerely, Patricia Melugin Cousins

I had not seen Terry since high school, but I remember him as a very nice guy. I wish I would have tried harder to contact him for our class reunions (Ceres High 1975). My condolences to his family, Stan Faddis

Both Alicia and I share your families loss of Terry our friend and neighbor. I personally will miss that always smiling face even when his physical pain was evident. It was amazing how when someone in the neighborhood was engaged in home repair how Terry always seemed to have a tool from his vast supply of "stuff" that would help.
Our conversations about his Dad, Kids,Kin and Fort Bragg were always a much discussed topic.
