Terry was such a great guy. I have so many fond memories of summers around the pool in Bellingham (and not only) and can still hear his contagious laugh. Catch a big one, Terry!

I'll always remember Terry from our high school days. He had a great sense of humor! I'm glad I was able to reconnect with him and Sharon at our class reunions. Two terrific people! My sincere sympathies to you, Sharon. Thanks for the memories...Margaret (Martin) Pullar, class of 1963.
