TERRENCE M. MACDONALD

Terry was my first boss and my best boss. He was a sincere and dedicated practitioner of the advertising craft, who, as an agency owner, chose creative integrity over financial considerations every time. He was all about making exquisite things-a lovely vacation house, a gifted child, carefully shaped jokes, finely executed jazz, graceful emails, and enduring friendships. He was almost unfailingly kind, forgiving, loyal, funny, and resilient. His body got old and weak, but he didn't. Terry...

Terry was way too talented to be so kind. So regular, caring, generous, such a good laugher. To a young copywriter in Boston just starting out and to every generation since, he was the god who walked among us. He was my inspiration and lucky for me my friend.

My deepest sympathies. I just found out at the Tuesday Night Jazz Jam at the Pressroom. They announce his passing and paid tribute to him. He will be missed . Such a warm person and great musician and jazz aficionado. May his memory be eternal

We will certainly miss Terry´s wonderful humor and the joy of life, especially, with a dry martini stirred not shaken! Bev and Jack Kocak. What a mensch!

Terry was my first and only true mentor in my advertising career. He was truly a craftsman at his trade. He also introduced me to my favorite singer Blossom Dearie. And to quote her... Terry, you really gave 'em the OOH-LaLa! Brilliant musician, amazing creative leader and writer and awesome Dad. And thank you for introducing me to my "sister" Karen MacDonald Lynch.

Terry, such a dear friend. We had a gig in Delaware water gap around 1958, I was playing Bass. He was playing drums. One afternoon I was swimming in the lake. It was absolutely freezing and I asked him to jump in and he said it was too cold to do that, and I continued urging him to do so because I thought the water wasn´t that cold and, eventually, he jumped in and then screamed because the water was that cold. We had a lot of fun together always. I will always remember his generous warmth...
