Not sure what to say?

Dear Terry. I only very recently learned of Jenning's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I first met Jennings as colleagues at Glaxo in the early 90s. I also met you back in 1991 at my wedding in Durham. Jennings and I frequently comiserated about about the challenges of moving from academics to the pharmaceutical industry. I remember running into Jennings in a grocery store (Chapel Hill, I think and you and Alex were shopping) and he told me that your family was moving to the west coast....

Continue condolences to family and friends. I often think of Buddy.

I met Worley and his family in 1972 when I tried out for Forestville youth football. They said that I lived in District Hghts MD, so I wasn't able to play. Jennings and I became good friends as we played together at Largo HS Largo MD. After High school we lost touch. I found were his parents had move to and was able to visit their home. I miss my friend Buddy! Love and blessings to the family. Keith McIver

Hello Terry, my condolences to you and the family. The Worley family welcomed me to Maryland when I moved to Forestville in 1971. Jennings became friends instantly. We played football and ran track at Largo High School. Worley was a great person and a excellent friend. I have been hoping to connect with him for for several years, sadly today I won't see my friend again on earth. My prayers and blessings for you and the family. I do remember that they called him "Buddy "! I will always...

Terry, Alex & Lauren
Donna and I were shocked and saddened to learn of Jenning’s untimely passing. He was a great friend and colleague to me during my time at Vertex as we spent a lot of time with each other between San Diego and Boston. We fondly remember you hosting us for dinner at your home and glad we shared that time together. He was a wonderful person and a great drug discoverer. He will be missed.

I met Jennings when he joined the faculty at West Virginia University, and we spent many hours battling one another on the racquetball court. His intensity was never more evident when we were on the court together. At the end of our sessions, we were both spent, but satisfied that we both gave our best. It was a sad day when he and Terry left WVU and Morgantown. My sincere sympathy to Terry and the family at the loss of this remarkable man.

Knew him at West Virginia University. A bright, excellent scientist, great fun to be around. Godspeed Jennings!
