Not sure what to say?

Janet and all of Terrill's family, I only heard about his passing and am so saddened by this news. My condolences and prayers go out to all of you. He was such a terrific guy and his energy and positive outlook will be missed. So, so sorry.

I grew up with Terry, living only two blocks away. I spent many days playing in the neighborhood with Terry and loved experimenting with him in his extensive basement chemistry lab, or looking at the strange bugs in his dads collection of slides. Although we lost touch after attending Marshall HS, my fondest memories were of our geology trips to Death Valley and Canada with Mr. Simonis. My thought and prayers are with your family in this trying time.

To Terrill's family.
So sad to hear of your (our) loss of Terrill after his brave battle against cancer. I will always remember his untiring positive energy and great knowledge and wisdom he shared with PNW-ISA and our wonderful Arboricultural industry. I've known Terrill since our early conferences including our hosting the 1983 (2?) chapter event here in Victoria. Terrill is part of a rare breed of Northwest founding fathers to the field of "Modern Arboriculture" as inspired by the late...

Terrill Collier - Forever missed. It is with deep sadness and sorrow I reflect on the passing of Terrill, a colleague, friend and someone I have had the pleasure being associated with in numerous capacities for many years - mostly as a friend.

Through the...

Our condolences to the family. I met Terrill in 2000 when he was an instructor at the Washington County OSU Master Gardener classes. Such a knowledgable and outgoing ndividual, He will be missed by all. I look out my window at the trees that the Collier staff take care of and watch the trees
gently sway in the breeze. I'm sure they are just waving to their dear friend Terrill who spoke their language.

Terrill and I were fellow Portland Ex members. He was always my Go To Guy.
Blessings.

So very sorry to hear of Terrill's passing. He was a fine man and I am better for knowing him. Harold Patrick

I only met Terrill once at a garden show. I told him we had been a customer of Collier Arbor Care for many years. He gave me his card and said to call him if I ever had a problem with Collier. I never did have a problem. He seemed such a kind man. My sincere condolences to his family.

Dear Janet and Sons, So sorry to hear that Terrill has passed. I have so many fond memories of the two of you together. Please accept my sympathy and prayer that memories heal all of your hears. Sally
