Hey Terry - I posted your photo on the wall at Abbey Road Studios in 2018. Ya made it to the greatest recording studio in the world, buddy. Bryan Yoshida

I am so sorry and heartbroken to hear of Terry's death. He was such a big part of my life so many years ago. He was truly an amazing man.

We grew up together just a few blocks apart....I knew him since kindergargen at Dilworth if I recollect correctly. Our birthdays 17 days apart.Our paths crossed numerous times once we were out of school. He'd be jamming at a party ,I'd be listening intently. We shared many a good time.....
The last time I saw him, I gave him food and warmth....It has been a few years since I saw him. He was always lingering in my thoughts.......I will miss him.
When I heard the news , I was...

I remember Terry from Lynbrook High School, he was such a nice person, very talented, as well.
My sympathies to the Powers family.

A great artist, We had art classes together for years. My favorite Terry memory was about ten years or so ago he sang Bee Gees 'How can you mend a broken heart' and I did back up with Paul Stage, Ed Kane and I think Ernie Salle. It was a great version we all just said 'whoow' when it was over. He had so many artistic talents.

Dear Ruth & Tom

Terry always had a smile. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I knew Terry from a young age, we were friends, neighbors and musicians. Terry was a great artist and always had a sparkle and gleam in his eyes. A smile that made you feel right at home. He will be missed over the years to come.

..."I heard the news today, oh boy...."

Terry will be missed.
