I met Terry in his freshman year at American University...a fellow roommate and terrific guy! Fun to hangout with and loved Jimmy Buffet and Lynard Skynard music while drinking a brewskies. I am sooo sad hearing about his passing...it was way too soon! "Peacock"...you are in my prayers every night. God bless ya bro! -John Barab/Cape May NJ

I still think about Terry and the last time I saw him. He was so proud of his family. he showed me photos of them. i was so happy that he had found so much love. He truly deserved that. He was a great person.

Our Scout Pack/Troop 295 met Terry when he called and said he will gladly assist is in a fundraiser so the boys could attend summer camp. Thanks to Terry we raised enough money for 8 boys to go to camp this year. Plus we also love the stories he told. Our Troop/Pack 295 is better because of Terry.

My husband and I met Terry when we all worked at the St. Petersburg Times. He was always pleasant and fun to talk to about his columns. We send our caring and love to his family. God bless this wonderful man. Leslie and Mike.

I met Terry when I worked for Pinellas County government. He was a great journalist and great guy. He enjoyed regaling me with stories of visiting his sister Susan on her movie sets- White Castle and Sweethearts Dance. My best thoughts to his family- he will be so missed. Pamela Leavy, Paris

Dear Kanika, Kai, Nia and the whole Tomalin Family, Guess what I am listening to now side 2! I love this cassette, and the memories it brings. 19 June 1999 and now, 24 May 2016. Time We are all (in different ways) blessed. Enough said. Be well and (as best you can) find strength in the support of all those who are feeling Terry's loss. There are many, and I am one of them.

Terry was a friend I met while working at Helpline on the Tampa USF campus. He was a great friend, full of life, humor, and love. He wrote for the school newspaper as himself and T.A.Mahoney. He was never afraid to stir things up if need be! I am very shocked and saddened at his passing. My heart goes out to his family and many, many people who loved him. The very last time I saw him, a few years ago,he showed me pictures of his beautiful children. He wanted me to meet them. I'm so sorry that...
