Strange when one leaves High School and heads off to the military service back in 1967 and never connects back too Grade School and High School friends. Terry and I were buddies in Grade School and High School. I am very sorry for his family. He was a great person. Frank Biggs

Strange that someone you went to Grade School and High School is gone... The biggest thing is during High Years back tin the 60´s, you had a choice to go College, Get Drafted or Join the Military. (OR-4F). If you chose the military, the Four years or more go by.. You loss contact with almost everyone... I went to Kellogg Grade School and Franklin High School (Jr-Sr) with Terry.

Terry believed in me at a time when more than many things, I needed someone to have that kind of faith. He taught me to see for myself what is truly important in life: the human connections, the people we love, the adventure of the journey, and leaving the road we've traveled a better place. Terry, I am ever greatful, ever growing, and permanently changed. Rest well my mentor and friend.

"Tell folks, what happen, today." "Alright, Terry. I'll do that for ya."

"I tell you the truth whoever hears My words and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned: That person has crossed over from death to life." -- John 5:24

Terry did just that. Terry heard those words in greater detail, and he believed God who sent Jesus, (God in human flesh and blood to save Terry). Upon that moment Terry has crossed over death to life.

Merry Christmas Terry! Your right here with us in our hearts. Thank you!

Terry was a big part of what made working at Central Library a pleasure. Security and enforcing the rules in Children's Library was never the fun part of the job, but Terry's manner and ability to communicate in difficult situations was always amazing to me. Though I've been gone from Oregon for 3+ years, Terry's smile still shines brightly in my mind.
