I send my sincerest sympathies on Terry's passing. He was a junior high and high school chum who I enjoyed for all of those years. We were usually seated very close together because, in those days, alpha seating was in vogue. I was often involved in Terry's classroom mischief and watching that easy smile blossom when his plan was fulfilled is a favorite memory. He was a good guy in his beginning years and I am sure he was a great guy as an adult. It is my loss that I didn't make any reunion after the 10th and didn't get to see, or talk with him, again.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
