To the Backer family: I worked for Gov. Rell from 2004-2011 as her spokesman and speechwriter and frequently chatted with Terry. He was a wonderful conversationalist, a gentleman and a true friend to our state. He will be greatly missed, but I hope you will be comforted in part by knowing that he is fondly remembered by many and even more so by knowing that his contributions to Connecticut will live on and on.
