Not sure what to say?

Mrs Pavlak I just found out about your husbands passing, I’m so sorry . He was always so pleasant and a gentleman. My condolences to you snd your family. Lisa(hygienist)

I served with Col Pavlak in the mid 80s at Ft. Lewis during his 3-11 Battalion command. I was a first Lieutenant and XO of a firing battery. I lost touch with him after I left the Army, but he had a lifelong impact on me. He always held the moral high ground!! He always chose truth and right over convenience or self interest! RIP Colonel!! I will always be grateful to you!!

I served under then Capt. Pavlak at Ft Sillin the late 60’s/early 70’s. I am truely to hear of his passing.

I only served with Terry for a short time, but I saw how he set the example for all around him while maintaining a demeanor that made everyone love and respect him. An outstanding man and officer.

Kathy,
I was sad to read that Terry had passed away. Liz and I knew him from our support group at the Virginian. We both liked him a lot. We lost a good man.

Kathy,
Sonia and I are so sorry to hear about Terry's passing. As you know, my experience in working with and for Terry goes back to the late-80s in the White House and later at CEXEC. As an Army officer he was one of the best that I have known and as a leader he set the example for all with his caring manner and guidance in all area of his expertise, both in the military and his civilian employment. He was always on top of his game. May God rest his soul.

Kathy, we will miss Terry. Our prayers are with him, you, and the kids.
