Terrence E. Vient

We watched you from the shore float away into the sea you so loved, as the sun broke out from behind the clouds over the lighthouse and the breeze took you away over the water. It was the perfect way for us to say goodbye to you, but yet so sad. My birthday will always hold a special memory of you in my heart for ever more. Not a sad memory you will just always be there. Love Always, Stephen & Elaine

In to the ocean Terry went today. The beautiful water, from a boat and a lighthouse behind. It was beautiful yet still so sorrowful, rest in peace our friend. Love Laura and Bill.

I met Terry at a lightship lecture series the Coast Guard Heritage Museum put on in 2007. From that day on Terry volunteered at the museum as a docent on Friday's during the open season. He did that for 3 years. In 2010 Terry started working on Fridays and could not volunteer at the museum. I saw Terry three weeks before his passing. We talked for a couple of hours at the museum about lightships.. CG duty, VA appointments, and old cars.
I was floored to hear of his passing. May the sea...

That Terry was a short part of my life is a treasure. I feel better that he allowed me to share in his life with respect to his Mother.

Terry always went out of his way to stop in and look me up when he was in town. An unforgettable character who will be sadly missed.

I cannot begin to tell you how sad Bill and I are to have lost you. We will miss you bopping in and out. Holidays will never be the same without you. Thank You for my lighthouse, my mixer, little things that mean so much to me and you took notice.I am so glad you were so happy to have been.as you would say when you left our house, "Cruisin on the highway of life" You did. We Love you and miss you so much. Love Laura and Bill.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

God bless you terry and may you rest in peace

May the Lord be with you and may he welcome you home.God bless you terry.
