I have had the pleasure of knowing Terry for approximately 15 years when we first met at Harada. He was one of the best distractions I had at work. He was always teasing me in a big-brother way, and I was always pretending to threaten him/beat him up if he didn't knock it off. It was a relationship built on tons of humor and sarcasm with equal amounts of trust and respect.

He was a very intelligent, trustworthy, respectful and humorous man. With the passing of time we weren't in touch outside of social media and I regret it with every fiber of my being. One thing is for sure - Terry will always be close in my heart and memory.

I always admired the love he had for his family; it was always so obvious. It showed in that big smile of his too!

Rest in peace my dear friend - thank you for having an impact on my life.

I worked with Terry for the past 5 years. Although Terry worked in Mich & I worked in MA, we would talk via the phone 2 to 3 times/week. Terry had a great sense of humor and we always enjoyed joking about our respective sports teams. I just know the next time the Tigers beat the Red Sox or Wings beat the Bruins he will be smiling down on me. My heart goes out to all his family for their loss. May the great memories of Terry live on & give you peace.

Terry and I worked together for the last 5 years. I enjoyed talking with him about his experiences in the Navy, his golf game, hunting and family. The day always started with coffee and fun discussions with the group. Terry was a member of our team and will be greatly missed. We will never forget.

I loved working with Terry! He was a good person and friend, Honest, and always came through for me even thugh I am a sales guy! Terry had great pride in being a Engineer. Terry also had a great sense of humor!

The week before CES, he gave me crap about leaving Autoliv and forcing him to have go to Vegas for the show! He would always say, I AM NOT A SALES GUY!

But always in ggod fun!

May Terry Rest In Peace:)

I have known Terry for 5 years from work. Long enough that he became a good friend and also an arch sports foe... I know you can hear me Terry when I say.. "The Wings are going down and GO HABS GO".......

I have known Terry for about 5 years. We worked in the same building.
Every morning like clockwork he would visit me at my desk to say good morning and then we would "bump" into each other at least a couple of more times in the day. We would always have something to talk about from golf to family to events taking placing. Funny that whenever we mentioned a place in the world, Terry would always say "been there" and then give a detailed naval story associated with that place. Terry was always the gentleman.
Wherever you are now, just want to tell you that I am missing those little banters we used to have.
Look after yourself my friend and god bless.

I worked with Terry for years at Harada. He was the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. I just learned about his passing today and I'm just stunned. My prayers go out to his family. He will be missed.

I am saddened by the passing of my dear friend Terry. I have worked with him a Ford for close to two years. Terry was always upbeat- he loved his wife and family they were all he talked about. That and GOLF.

God bless you and keep you with him ....

To say that I had an amazing father-in-law is an understatement. There was no one finer. I was blessed to have this man in my life for nearly 15 years. I think I speak for everyone when I say there will never be another like him. I love you Terry. Thank you for everything you gave in this life, whether it was love, material, or simply your time. Watch over me in the days ahead, and as always, go Navy!

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Terry. I sat over the cubical wall from him where we work. Over the years I had gotten to know him and enjoy his sense of humor. Often our discussions were about the military and his time in the Navy as my father too was in the Navy.

Please accept my condolences during this difficult time.

I would especially like to say how appreciative I am of his service in the Military. We owe him a great deal of respect.

Debbie, Philip and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Uncle Terry's sudden passing. I remember Debbie and Terry's wedding and know that you were both very happy to have found each other and you have many memories to hold onto.

I remember when Uncle Terry would come home from the Navy on leave. He was always "so cool" to us - he traveled the world and I remember Grandma Sophie sharing his travels with us.

One time he drove back from California and brought us a missile dud when we were kids (that would never happen today!). Yes, it looked like a huge brass bullet about 2 feet high and 8" in diameter and it weighed a ton, it took two people to pick the thing up! We were so excited, we polished it up nice and shiny and used it around the house, mainly as a door stop and in the trunk of the car to weigh it down in the winter snow :-) We kept that missile for years!

Remember the good times and memories. You are all in my prayers.

- Donna

Debbie and Family,

May the Dance of Life
All of you shared
On Wings in flight

Move ever peacefully into
The Dance of Afterlife

Through your memories
And eventual touching of souls.

Love,
