Not sure what to say?

Pictured Terry's face, took me about 30 seconds to remember his name so of course I googles him, he was always the friendliest, kindest gentlemen, so funny and always smiling, such a pleasure to talk to him when he would come into clerical office. Now I'm so very heartbroken to know he has left us so early in his life. Haven't seen him since I left CHP to go to CalFire in 1997 and now I miss him. Linda Wilson-Hindman

Every so often I will look up old friends. So very sad today to learn of Terry´s passing. He was truly a very special person and more important a wonderful family. We met in Pacific Beach. He and his brother Robert lived in a 2 bedroom apt. on Thomas street. My roommates and I lived in a three bedroom house next door. We hit it off immediately and often traveled home with them to Brawley and visited his parents Roscoe and Gladys, Kay and JK. Those were great days back in the early `70s. Over...

I feel like I'm coming out of the woodwork over here. I'm sorry I'm many years too late! I randomly found this announcement for Terry after waking up one day and something told me to Google his name and wouldn't let me rest until I did. It was shocking to see his face again under an obit posting. I actually dropped my phone. Terry was a comical person and could light up the whole room with his smile. No one was a stranger to him because he had the gift of gab and gift of joke. I...

I feel privileged to have known Terry in his rookie years. We were classmates at the CHP academy CTC IV-79. Terry, Mike Mitchell and myself were fortunate to transfer together to El Cajon for our first assignment. I worked beat partners with Terry for almost four years until I transferred. Terry had a good disposition and a great sense of humor. He was a great beat partner.
I remember working one day shift with Terry, along SR-94. We practiced a 50's dance move with hand gestures and spins...

My Prayers and condolence to all his family and friends. May god comfort you all in your time of loss.

Happy 64th Birthday T.M. Your children, and grandchildren will gather tonight to celebrate you. You are missed, but so many great memories for them to share!! J.

So sorry yo hear of Terry's passing. I just asked about him last month and they told he had retired and moved to Florida. I went to school with Terry & Kay and went to their house many times to visit the family. They were the nicest family and always made you feel welcome in their house,

Our deepest and most sincere condolences to the family. May they ALL rest in peace together.

A little taste of Terry's humor...dispatch was doing a roll call due to an unusual transition heard over the radio. Sgt. Maas asked for a statues check on everyone. When they got to Terry, "108-82,what's your status?"...Terry,"San Diego, 108-82, I'm single,I like long walks on the beach, movies, candle light dinners,"....it went on for at least thirty seconds! There was about a twenty second pause, I'm sure because the dispatchers couldn't stop laughing then they said, "108-82, 10-19 and see...

Robert, so sorry to hear of Terry's passing. I hope your grief passes quickly and only the good memories remain. Godspeed Terry.
