Not sure what to say?

Mike was as hardnosed as they come. He inspired me as a teammate with his toughness on the field and his zest for life off the field. His family was no doubt wonderfully blessed by him. I pray for peace for all who knew and loved him.

My sympathy to the Terwoord Family on your loss,I worked a lot with Mike at Solon Garage we did a lot of work but also had a lot of fun.he was great guy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family. I have many fond memories of Mike that date back to Berea High School days and then onto Bowling Green State University where we spent time together on and off the rugby field. Mike was a very positive individual that impacted my life and I'm certain others. I am fortunate to have known Mike in my lifetime and he will never be forgotten.

Our deepest sympathy and prayers are extended to Mike's family. We knew him at BGSU as Roger was a rugby teammate of his. There are many good memories of him which will not be forgotten! Sincerely, Roger and Mary Hamilton

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Terwoord family. Although I have lost touch with Mike over the years since leaving Bowling Green I have always considered him a friend and great rugby teammate. He was the heart and soul of our championship rugby club of the early 70's.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. As a rugby teammate and friend Mike was well liked, loved by his teammates. Though I have talked to Mike in a number of years he made a lasting impression on me and knew the fun loving and sensitive Sides of Mike. My prayers go out to his wife and family. His smile will be with all of us always. Best to the family.
With my deepest sympathy, Jim Tremoulis

I have the deepest sympathy for your loss. I was a Rugby teammate of Mike's at BGSU. One of my favorite memories of Mike is at the start of his second season. We were gathering at the Poe Rd. field, there were about 6 of us already warming up and I look back toward the gym to see about 8 or 10 guys, running in formation being led by an individual. I thought this must be the track team. As they got closer, I saw it was Mike leading the group. Turns out Mike had recruited half his dorm...

We can't seem to find the right words to express to Sheryl and the Terwoord family the sorrow they must feel today.

All of you are loved and we can only offer our deepest sympathy and prayers. Mike was a very dear friend.

We have many great memories to hold on to.
BGSU Rugby, camping, watching Ohio State football games, country music concerts, etc.

No doubt in our minds that Mike will be standing guard at heaven's gates. We wish him and all of you peace.

My deepest sympathy to Michael's family. I knew him in college at BGSU and played rugby with him. Had some great times.
