Not sure what to say?

Terry worked alongside my father and his coaching career. Terry was such a fixture at our house during all those years that he was dubbed “the ninth Streidl child.“ He was a wonderful guest and always praised my mothers cooking. Over the years I had countless opportunities for conversation With Terry and always found him interesting. He seemed to be a kind and grateful person.

I had him each year in high school for different classes all 4 years s and JV FOOTBALL he is by far my favorite school teacher he was a hoot. Class of 67

I knew Terry thru his late wife, Kathy, best friend since high school. I know Terry was very good to her and stood faithfully by her thru her cancer fight. Micheal and Darren have stood by Terry thru his later years. God Bless you all. Give Thanks

In all my years I have never met anyone like him. He was his own man and we all loved him for it. I was proud to have known him.
