Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Terry. I wouldn't be where I am today without the his teachings. I have great memories from our Commercial Arts class. He was a great teacher.

My sincere condolences to Mr. Terry's family. Mr. Terry was the greatest teacher, he was funny and made Commercial Art so much fun and entertaining. He will truly be missed...

Most awesome art teacher at Willoughby South and W/E Tech Center. You will be missed Mr. Terry.

Mr. Terry was my Commercial Art teacher 1982-1984 at Willoughby South. He was an amazing person, he cared about his students and you knew it. I didn't stay in touch with him as I would have liked to.... To my regret. 28 years after graduation and he still stays with me. You are missed Mr. Terry!

I'm sorry I was unable to attend Don's funeral service. Don and I were neighbors when we lived on Maryland Avenue. He was a great friend. Sincere sympathy to his family.

Don was my Commercial Art teacher 82-84. Was my favorite teacher. Always stopped by to see him when I was home on leave from the Army. Awesome guy. Think my favorite line of his was in school we'd ask "Mr Terry what does the clock say" (to find out what time it was) and he'd say "It doesn't say anything you have to read it." Loved the guy. He will be missed.

I and my brother Rudy Fell knew Don through the Woodmen of the World. I and Nykk Fell send our sympathy to the family

HELLO ALL!

WE ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND THE WAKE AND THE FUNERAL. BUT, YOU KNOW OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE THERE.

LOVE ALWAYS,

BILL & MARY AGNES MARIOTTI
