TERRENCE STEPHEN "TERRY" McBRIDE

I never had the privilege of meeting Terry's wife and kids but they must be special. I knew Terry for five years in Houston before moving to Charlotte and he taught me how to play racquetball. I tried many times to find him after he left Chicago but was unsuccessful. We had many outrageous battles in golf, football, softball and of course, racquetball. He was gifted and I will always remember him taking me under his wing. I will miss his infectious laugh and optimistic attitude the most....

My condolences to all the friends and family of Terry. I have very fond memories of Terry during his time in Houston. Terry and I had many a battle on the basketball court at the Post Oak YMCA (I usually won) but he paid me back big time on the golf course! I had lost touch with Terry quite some time ago, but thought of him often. I will always remember his huge smile and infectious laugh. Godspeed Tery. You are already missed.

Janet,

I am so sorry to hear the news. I remember going to the Billy Joel/Elton John concert with Terry and Elaine a few years back. I hope you and your family are comforted by fond memories at this difficult time.
Warm regards,
Heather Carroll

Elaine,
So sorry to hear about Terry. Just know that the Briars family sends our sincere condolences to you and your family. We will always remember Terry as one of the friendliest neighbors on Crescent Ave. He always greeted us with a warm smile. He loved to stop and chat and we always enjoyed that. You, Harrison & Kendall are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss, my prayers are with the McBride family at this sad time. May you be comforted by the love of family and friends.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Now I have God the Father AND my Godfather looking over me. I wish I could have seen you go bald. :P I love you Uncle Unhairy Terry!

I've been thinking about Terry, Elaine and the kids everyday since I first heard this tragic news. We have so many fond memories of weekend and evening conversations in our Park Ridge front yards, back yards, summer concerts, Halloween celebrations, kids' birthdays...and the list could go on and on. May you find comfort in knowing that anyone who had the privilege to know Terry could quickly appreciate his wit, friendship, love of life and love of family. He will be dearly missed. Big...
